Riassunto:
WHO'S GOING TO LOVE THE DYING GIRL? by Bree Rolfe is a revolutionary debut poetry collection touching on society, loss, illness, and learning to grasp with things that cannot be changed. Rolfe executes verse with precision and fierceness:
Desert Tarot
and this is where
people come
to forget
their mothers
we envy darkness
noble, devilish
in its necessity
leaves like tap
dancers, skittered
across stone slabs
landed at the feet
of strange cacti
we are blind
powerless
in this blaze
your grace failed
when you needed
to bury a memory
in a shallow
grave in West Texas
we are burnt
limitless
in our catharsis
you delved too far
reoriented yourself
beneath too much sky
saw everything
it contained
a cup held
by a hand
that reached
from heavens
and stretched
warnings
in the offing
we are not
the salamander
who can pass through
fire unscathed
but each cloud
contained wings
and you intend
to wear a crown
of your haunted
thoughts
