“Madhubala" by Libby Maxey
already half gonemaking up the heart's insufficiency
in bright, soft black
smile like color
as if the moonlight were real
black hair blushing
you ran here
on bare feet, a Bombay child
shoulders dancing
now pretend to rest
poise your chin in readiness
as if illumination
were your name
as if you were a spectral song
on gold water
as if this frame
and every flickering frame
made you full
