*imagine, as I do,
the clutch of tensed pale fingers
on stain-spotted porcelain
tendons stretch like telephone wires
under perfect, loving skin.*
her slop spills over loose lips,
drains itself through antique piping systems,
leaves her skull a musty cave,
slowly panting for revival flames.
he stretches.
the fingertip connects to the handbone
connects to the wrist
connects to the arm/chest/neck/face
each surveyed in turn, slowly,
the irises staggering over cloth and hair.
*his smile is a sunrise through fog,
the song of angels into a bathroom wall,
heartbreak from a distance.*
there was no night,
only daybreak over two bodies
locked in a mobius strip.
one twist of mind, a sleight of fate
and they lay disheveled.
*quiet, the breeze
snakes through curtain
exit stage left.*
