Sting of sloppy light.
Purse, bow, amphetamine.
Brown hair & a pink—
wind current cut through
one open car window
to the other car window
pilling cigarette smoke cheap
& steady forward.
He's a beauty, that one.
Wallet, vest & tie, coke.
Cut open her stomach &—
waves of salt water
bolted to the ground
like tiny rocks & hardened
shells lain beneath the sea,
a doubtless factotum.
Pull & stitch.
Sting again.

Sting of sloppy light.
Purse, bow, amphetamine.
Brown hair & a pink—
wind current cut through
one open car window
to the other car window
pilling cigarette smoke cheap
& steady forward.
He's a beauty, that one.
Wallet, vest & tie, coke.
Cut open her stomach &—
waves of salt water
bolted to the ground
like tiny rocks & hardened
shells lain beneath the sea,
a doubtless factotum.
Pull & stitch.
Sting again.
