inresponse, notintent (2 years minus 2 days)


A Portrait

reading cummings and coming
and going from table to table

legs clenched
thighs tight

lip bleeding from the biting.
two shifts long words gone
from booth to table to stall

frantic dripping trips
spent touching

grasping for the head spin trembles.
wet-kneed workday fantasies of poetry
masturbating to the classics

not even missing her periods.


this man does not approve
