the difference between a black storm
and the blue-green eye
is the toxicity that feeds the blood.
sewage and rage,
or rage and milk.

the difference between a dagger
and a ****
is the edge and extension.
rushing blood for both.

the difference between a ****
and i love you
is the petal that falls away
and a fold that replaces.

the difference between sense
and an electrical signal
is a jump of proportion
gauged by the storm
or the eye.
