Susan Terris Fugue State She is in a fugue state. There are holes in her arm made by the fat man with suitcase and Uzzi. As her husband, a red blossom spreading across his chest, lies in her lap, she hears screams and mewling. A swiftif imperfectshield, he'd wedged his body in front of hers. now while she cries, odd sounds chirr from his throat. She feels burning, numbness; and when she looks up, tinted windows of his office pewter the sky. Somehow, he'd punched an outside line so she could plead for help. Now, though time creeps, they wait. I'm dying , he manages, as cones from spotlights sear, and we need to say good-bye This is only shock, she tells herself. Help will come. Things will be all right. We'll have children and beachcomb in Kauai. Week-old tulips, ones she'd bought for his birthday, gape in the crystal bowl atop the desk. They are scarlet, yet not as scarlet as the bouquet mantling his shirt. Nothing again will ever be real, she murmurs. I am beyond the rainbow. Today is yesterday inside out. Tomorrow is upside down. I was young, and now I am old

A LESSON IN TENSE I lay my skirt across a chair and it lies there. (Present.) I laid my sandals on the floor and they lay there. (Past.) I have laid myself upon a quilt and I have lain there. (Perfect.) He lays his pants by my skirt and they lie there. (Present.) He laid his boots beside my sandals and they lay there. (Past.) He has laid his body next to mine and it has lain there. (Perfect.) Lay, lies, laid, lay laid, lain. All quite grammatically correct and, still, it is not the lay or laid that bothers him but the lies. He may love to lie with me, yet to lie about me is for him a tense not coped with in any text of standard usage. (Imperfect.) DU CHIEN (an untranslatable French idiom) has often been applied to Tolstoy's wife Sonya. Some moments it seems a compliment hinting at bite and piquancy: avoir d'elegance, de la seduction. Then probing deeper I suspect it's only another way of pointing out the sleek creature a man might hope to tame or teach to fetch one who can learn on command come, sit, stay, lie down, shake hands

SUSAN TERRIS WAITING ROOM Beneath a buzz of fluorescence, eyelids puff, pupils contract protesting glare. Stripes snake around the couch, and three, escaped, slither over walls. Those walls, white now, are chipped by hinges behind the door, hinting at a hidden cave of stalactite blue. Stripes yet no pictures, clock, or thumbed copies of Time Any other doctor's office says No Smoking . But here, beside restroom key, an ashtray reeks, offers bouquet of wrinkled white buds. Across on the writhing couch, blinking and inhaling is a crazy-eyed woman. Do I knuckling pen look crazed to her? Blood vessels constrict, lungs burn. I want to stand, strain, belay from that room; yet I will myself to wait for a chipped-away version of the child who would shrink herself from this suffocating, blue-green, thin-fat, multi-striped hell. DU CHIEN (an untranslatable French idiom) sometimes seems to be a compliment hinting at bite and piquancy. Then probing deeper I suspect it's only another way of pointing out the sleek creature a man might hope to tame or teach to fetch one who can learn on command come, sit, stay, lie down, shake hands

Susan Terris WIDOW PRACTICE Bruised midnight sky. Sound of winter surf and sting of salt. Sleepless, slurried by undertow she sits, aware of voices piping minor-key tunes. On the beach, debris flares — a pyre as crackle, flame and shadow breathe tales, and she, her forehead chilled by window glass, stretches one arm through the open sash, indifferent as she observes weightless shapes intertwine. Starfish and kelp, stripped bare by moon-sucked tide, purple and shrink in hollows of raindrop shale. A rogue wave — impartial water-demon — arcing sound roars, rises, spits, spills, licking at sand and flame until dogs bay and nothing human moves. The tide turns. Cirrus seines the sky, traps bear and whale, traps her, too, until she admits why she's here: salt, blood, pulse, wind, dune and dune grass. But no more hot-heart of fire. No bodies coupled on the sand. PEONIES Alone in the house, she is listening to the sound of petals falling — sometimes one, sometimes as an unseen rush of blood. How better to describe their color? Just blood isn't it exactly, more like venous blood or waning fifth-day menstrual flow or like opened wine — cabernet red-black rather than burgundy and so old it draws toward vinegar. For days, willing the phone to ring, she's stayed at home, eyed ink-shadowed throats, felt hers constrict in response to a capillary intensity of feelings. Call me. Say something.

Susan Terris AT FOUR IN THE MORNING At four in the morning, my children come scratching, slithering beneath the bedroom door where they lick my ears, make fingers itch, squeeze at my breast; disembodied, they beg to be mothered. At four in the morning, my children screech nagging me to nurse them then shake them off the tit so they can swarm out and sting other people's sleeping breasts. LIFE BYTES 1. Girl When she fell through ice on the pond, she said it was an accident, but she did it on purpose, denying chill or fear, so she could walk on water. When she climbed out the window, scrabbled over loose clay tiles, she told herself it was safe to spring from the roof because she could fly. When she night-prowled through the old sawmill, she believed herself invisible, strong enough to walk through walls, tall enough to touch the moon. And when she paddled the Flambeau, needled canoes down through its high, unrunnable rapids, she knew she'd survive because she was immortal. 2. Woman

Susan Terris USA SDT11@aol.com Website: members.aol.com/sdt11 From The Wing Bone Of A Crane Anemophiles, lovers of wind, believe time is infinite, and the past has no claim, but in China there's a 9,000 year old flute carved from the wing bone of a crane. Once, at Jiahu in the Yellow River Valley, flood and ebb, rice ribboned green, and crane on one leg in the shallows, his target-red eye scanning fish. A rock flies. Feathered death. O solemn bone, white and hollow and smooth. Seven chiselled holes, a delicate windy sound, millennium after millennium lost only to be unearthed, brown and mottled, trilled again by other lips and fingers. Same flute. Different song. The human brain weighs little and is lightly grooved, yet it knows when a flute is a flute. Anemophiles might embrace this bone. Or say it does not, cannot possibly exist. "Notre Dame Review" The Lie Of The Ordinary Life A muster of white peacocks preens by the inverted lake pooling the ceiling.

18. SUSAN TERRIS: WHAT OTHER POETS SAY CB Follett. WHAT OTHER POETS SAY ABOUT susan terris David St. John susan terris is an exquisite poet. Her work is filled with http://members.aol.com/sdt11/say.html

Eleanor Wilner : Even as "sailors know a storm/ is close when all their knots have drawn tight," so these taut, intricate poems enact the dramatic encounter of opposing forces: high Romantic flight meets gravity's tow, Chagall's floating figures ride the tornado, fire exacts its inevitable toll as the dreamer awakens— eloquent, unrepentant. David St. John : Susan Terris's poetry is exquisite and extraordinary. Her poems exhibit an intellectual verve and a linguistic brilliance that are remarkable; what is more, this collection is both powerful and heart-breaking. There are few poets who can so deftly orchestrate the dramatic dilemmas of the daily with the profound wisdoms of the larger world. Restrained, wise and compelling, this book continues to burn long after it has left the reader's hands. Ronald Wallace: Susan Terris teases out the terror of the everyday, the elegies for all our lost selves. She is a true original, a remarkable, remarkable poet." Janet I. Buck: Susan Terris is a poet with the gift of understatement and grace. Stark, emotional realities are made into art and laced with a hint of mystery. Her readers will meet death, cancer, the roles of men and women, and growing up all in compelling new ways. Section three (entitled Blue Roses) is reminiscent of Tennessee Williams' famous play The Glass Menagerie, where light affords studious appraisal of one's life and mortal limits. Terris is one of the most profound and eloquent new voices in Amercian poetry today.

Susan Terris THE SOUND OF YOUR MOTHER CHEWING Sometime in childhood you begin to hear it, know her teeth are starting to chip, discolor as fillings and crowns pulp food. Her swallows are intolerable, intake of breath, the touch of her hand. Still, shrinking from toothmarks or fingerprints, you consider texture and taste, covet them. Grasshopper, caterpillar, cricket chew and keep chewing. Children keep them in jars, listen at night before all chewing grates and touch hints of mortality. Children, though alert to decay, choose to pretend their glass-walled caterpillars are not chewing patiently toward oblivion. Across great distances, countless mouths chew. Mother's, too, as she reaches and strains to touch me again. "Tell me", I call into space, "what you know about flavor and rapture." Her mouth opens, but instead of sound, butterflies arc. Instead of ordinary touch, I feel a dusting of pollen on my hand. Susan Terris has published several books of poetry: Curved Space (1998, La Jolla Poets Press), Eye of the Holocaust (1999, Arctos Press), and
