I Want Diane Seuss to Teach Me How to Become a Man

after Diane Seuss’s “Romantic Poet”

by Daniel Naawenkangua Abukuri

I cherish the boys who cry in parking lots, who lean against dented Hondas
holding their faces. I love the boys who apologize to stray cats after scaring
them away. The ones who carry flowers badly, stems bent in their sweating
fists. But mostly, let’s be honest, I like Diane Seuss for the way she makes
ruin sit down beside beauty without either one pretending. Ostensibly,
becoming a man is less about hardening and more about surviving softness.
Don’t laugh. I grew up believing manhood was a locked jaw, a fist through
drywall, a silence thick as wet cement. But Diane Seuss writes men like
weathered barns still standing after years of snow and bad harvest. She
lets them ache openly. Lets them fail magnificently. Lets them drink
coffee at midnight while admitting they are lonely. And inside my own
body, under the borrowed swagger, under the deep voice I practice on
buses, there is a small frightened animal wanting permission to stay gentle.

I had a similar reaction a couple years back when I recorded a short story for @fullhouselitmag.bsky.social. A word change, an inflection or pause I wasn’t expecting. Now, I record at least one draft of each piece before submitting.

orange marmalade

jar empty, washed out
and up. remember sugar?
honey, you never tasted
honey, and the bees are so tired,
the sun dozes off in the sky
like a bruminating bear in its cave,
dark musky warm how   cavernous
      the sky.
and the bees are so tired, honey,
and the flowers fall into a sleep
       too
orange marmalade, isn’t that jarring?
honey, when the sun wakes up 
       (i hear it stirring—)
we’ll wash our jars
       and walk through beeless buzzless woods.
