[[ her ricochet/her body ]]

.

love-in sweet disdain where the moan eyes
....naked flowers blow-bewildered, where fish
bury their heads in the sand, nerves
fat with sediment, pebbles, woe-begotten--
................fin lakes of bloated hymen

......a fluttering of curtains against the vein
................................in a cascade of purple-blue
......................osmosis--the fruit of her breathing

..........................at last explosive, painting
..............windowsill a lovely shade of flounder,

..........her brief, forgotten
...............name--a tout alors

Je fais des rameaux de son cou pas
n'en oubliant où elle a une fois tourné
