Princess Cut diamonds are mined from Mt. Stirrup. Brides-to-be are briefed by their
lapidary, and one such was known to say “I am the Georgia O’Keefe of Wedding Rings.”
Princess cuts are by no means overnight bloomers; they require at least a year-long
honeymoon of frequent tilling with acrylic mandrels as their facets separate (The bride is
supplied with this tool by her jeweler). Satisfied customers report to bridesmaids who
caught the bouquet that their stone can resemble Frankenstein before the veil is lifted—
before the band is fitted— before the chevrons are shepherded down the aisle, escorted by
never-before-met relatives who oddly wore scrubs to the ceremony. While this diamond
may be a stranger to your finger, our client reviews tell us their hands look anew, to quote
verbatim “My hand finally looks like my hand.” No need to shed those pounds to fit into
your dress, ladies, the Princess cut may induce significant weight loss following its
installment and yes, this is more than simple jitters. If you feel a slight tug, don’t be
alarmed, that’s just the lace train which will be removed after your vows. Expect the focal
or underside facet to glitter, gleam, glisten, shimmer and/or present scintillation, sheen,
sparkles, etc. around 1-3 months after purchasing your Princess cut. Colors include
alabaster to chocolate, baby pink to golden piaster, magenta, and ruby. This advertisement
comes with complete transparency: Princess cuts are impossible to remove once the bride
wears it on her person but since she is marrying herself in this scenario, divorce is
otherwise unnecessary. While the Jewelers are of the times, we must stress that this
particular marriage should last forever as it will be till death do you and your Princess cut
part.
We look forward to helping you achieve your dreams on your big day.

* This diamond is considered cosmetic by most grooms and the Lapidary cannot guarantee
full coverage at this time. However, we the Jewelers are proud to report that most brides
who acquire Princess cuts consider their diamonds a life-changing** experience.
** To quote verbatim, “life-saving” or “necessary.”

Portrait of a Transgirl’s Mother as a Stereoscope Card
Free of forecasting
I can see
my child is happy
her life given by
a surgeon
my projected
constructs empty
one-dimensional
space perhaps now
understanding
double vision
as separate
like a stereoscope card
the labors taken
for her future
eclipsing
the life of my son
over
on one side
a three-dimensional
woman on the other
daughter
I call her daughter
Wheelhouse Canto
Father, you ferryman of Poseidonion proportions
Steering the eight spokes of your Captain wheel
Down canals with your unending endurance,
Father, you rescued the Haitian population
With a Golf oil platform vessel
After their Earth split open back in 2010.
The Sea Lion V, 110’ in length, dredged across the Atlantic,
Seized in the passage by customs and pirates.
Desperation surged the inlet when you arrived.
You disembarked in your straw hat and mosquito net
Offering Skittles to children huddled on the dock.
What horrors you witnessed, pressed under cement.
You heard their distress call and answered.
Then, back at the American marina
Some years later, I climbed the ladder
To the Sea Lion’s wheelhouse. There, Father, I sent
A series of dats and dits, fragments
Unlearned attempts to request aid.
My Morse code was directed nowhere
Each dot and dash tapped with the telegraph
Of my private short-hand.
The sequence for “SOS” sounded so similar,
To the untrained ear, sounded like “error”, the latter
Formerly made by eight digits.
Ascending the wheelhouse, with no expectation
My sinking into myself would be heard,
I observed the stationary night.
Would this change of perspective, this height
Lend some sort of direction? I felt stranded,
Floating between the stars in the sky and their sisters
Reflected in the water Below deck you noticed
My absence. You joined me in the wheelhouse and while
You had no Skittles; you offered me a rainbow in the night.
