take what you like © Carolyn Srygley-Moore (2011)

                 Take what you like.          It is a great thriftshop

at the top of the hillside        where a Disney animation made in 1937

plays over & over.        "That was made before the second world war"    I say

to my child;      Hitler was just rising to power     only a portent of evil to come;

the great depression in Germany           was rampant.

Paper bags of paper bills             to purchase a loaf of bread.

                Indeed          I say             take what you like.

The  queen is still gorgeous               why does she order

her stepchild's heart cut from the body         as evidence?

O  when karma strikes             when the boulder

crushes the bones of the witch in drag

& the dwarfs are left to ponder beauty in a glass coffin

the kind of coffin Williams wrote about.

          Take what you like.          I think how she holds her head

high even upon learning that they wish her dead.   She holds her head      

almost in a chosen ignorance   the arch of the blue roadside doe.
