AS SHE REACHED by Linda Kaye, 2019
As she reached for that last glowering and stank cocktail thinking how many times has this matron fool sat before at this filthy bar justifyingly thinking the same dour useless curdling thoughts of wasting borrowed time The harsh sips of whiskey jolt and seer her throat a daily wicked reminder of that unlived crime of a life The sweet and also the sour of a mixed messaged drink the flat constant reminders of failed relationships gone south not fully committed detoured by unsavory adjustments to the loss of time, hair, flesh flexibility unwanted differences craving subsistence then dismantling the world weary norms that smash one in the face year after year. No love ever befell or existed as she thought it would or could The ugliness that was seen in the mirror of the past only reflected inside wedlock yet outside it deadlocked grifting towards unknown territory secreted behind the crippled lost loves of days past Those other lives soured behind them from their own broken doors living parallel-fantasized lives dreaming of the magical march to fulfillment Linda Kaye writes poetry and produces spoken word and art events throughout the NELA area. In June 2014, Linda Kaye’s production of poetry and spoken word ‘Back to the Roots, was a Call for Poetry Submissions event. This event was part of the annual Lummis Day Festival event sponsored by the Arroyo Arts Collective, Lummis Day and the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles. Her event was a tribute to the late poet and printmaker Richard Duardo that was held at the Autry’s Historic Southwest Museum. Ms. Kaye’s self-published poetry has also been featured in THE LA ARTNEWS, and her most recent chapbook, “Sexy Stuff” is currently available for purchase. Upcoming event Saturday Sept 28th at the Neutra Museum and Gallery in Silverlake in collaboration with the ArroyoArtsCollective featuring Linda Kaye and an open mic with poets and musicians.
