always-too-cold-metal-handle
the refrigerator door
opens with an elastic jolt
never easy
always excessive
violence pressed deep
into squeezed palm
whether you go:
slow or fast;
never easy
whether:
anticipation ****
and rip through
resistance;
or tear slow with quiet tenderness
pops
this can't help but leave you
a savage.
