Literature
plumbum
she has a heart of gold
and she, a heart of lead
and she, a heart of uranium.
and they go walking sometimes, the three of them.
gold is confident in her worth,
untarnishable
bought and sold and bought and sold
the virgin whore
and lead behind,
heart heavy in her chest
guilt from bullets
and pride from pipes
and anxiety from irreparable brain damage
and somewhere off to the side treads uranium,
tumors growing,
white skin glowing,
thin frame for a dense core.
Literature
Letter to a former lover
I wrote you letters
of these hollow woods,
perhaps your tongue was tied
or planing out your teeth with supple motion
licking forth a better smile
a brighter future, at least
you never answered or gave word
that you had seen the fog riding
from beneath the trees on grey stallions
or that the woods themselves were
leaning out and giving way and
turning grey, mist breeding
hollow spines on brittle branches.
Literature
Eurydice
His voice enveloped me, and I became
Myself again--I heard it in the song:
A mordent on a note he held too long;
A stutter in his voice. I heard my name
In these and felt a happiness the same
As when I saw him first. Oh, I had longed
To hear him sing again, but this last song--
It was so beautiful. And it remains
The best of human works, though none shall hear
Its sorrowed notes; the lyre's meand'ring tune
Through vast arpeggios and Death's expanse
Except the dead. It will not disappear
'Till all the world's destroyed, and hell's exhumed--
Such music must be worth a backwards glance.

Some questions I have are as follow:
1. Is the twist at the end too far-fetched or too expected? Why?
2. Do you think BOSS should be played by a woman or a man? Why?
3. Which mysteries/revelations need more explanation? Why?
4. Is the religious imagery effective? Or overly burdensome? Or too scant? Why?
5. I am also considering the titles Man, Woman, Boss and Crack. Do you think either works better for the piece? Why?

Sorry for not being as concise and with it as to not needed 2 posts. I did like the twist, though I saw it coming from far off. Perhaps it is the wording in which we use or more specifically the lack of wording theat serves as a clue.
It is my opinion that we as a society have not experienced enough women as superiors to get ourselves to take for granted that supervisory positions are not gender specific. There is a riddle dealing with a child 2 parents a surgeon and a car accident that illustrates this very well indeed. Really the answer to the 2nd in entirely up to you.
The imagery was more than adequate IMOSHO.
How about Hopscotch?
