Mulholland Drive<br />
<strong>By</strong> <strong>Charlotte</strong> <strong>Reed</strong><br />
“Th ere it is, take it.”<br />
—William Mulholland<br />
Marilyn Monroe is twenty miles long,<br />
lying naked on her side.<br />
She is the desert, golden earth<br />
melting into the Pacifi c.<br />
Her anklebones, stacked,<br />
are cut by the river,<br />
and those silvery shins<br />
become thighs, sliding west<br />
with sunsets till murky dawns.<br />
You drive up her hipbone, the 101,<br />
and boulevards below<br />
are strings of stolen jewels.<br />
Along her waistline, you’ll fi nd God<br />
and Warren Beatty—<br />
her breasts read Hollywood,<br />
and underneath is the reservoir,<br />
its sharkskin surface and barbed wire fences<br />
gleaming in the glare of a dusty sun.<br />
