women are beaten over the packed
mourning the tears wetting the pink letters
role of the selfless night
next to the crib next to the abandoned bridge Sigh
the
cardboard in your hand is over your own profile
begin again on wet cement
to draw you again
your waist is over lighting the lace
wasp
magazines and calendars and mechanical
bathing trunks and foam baths brass
hysterical laughter is over and the league
not
low and the eye that captures
while the body says no
nothing but
executioners come and cut your throat
defense is over before the coup
the dagger or the slap
with implacable silence and roar
inward blowing
juice bottles with disdain
and glass
tears is over and now begins another lap
while the same gestures
most brutal
the same
caresses
skinned open mouth to kiss or bite
not escape while you're asleep and you can smell
this spell
still give us the two mercilessly
(Excerpt from a poem my book
unedited
"Fragile stab")
