APOSTASY, by TIMOTHY LIU Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: We open our mouths and the seasons Subject(s): Gays & Lesbians; Homoeroticism; Lesbians; Gay Women; Gay Men | ||||||||
We open our mouths and the seasons change, screech owls lifting mice into the sky those starless hours when schools of fish are darting under windows made of ice. Oh Christ in the chords of an old harmonica held up to a child's mouth, a solemn hymn whose words we dare not sing. Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
