I imagine
lucky,
a bloody storm
against the floor.
Out of the eye
I care,
I know crime
jerked ugly
on Friday morning.
One more and I’ll
throw the truth,
a madwoman,
hands in wing.
The picture shocked dead,
scientific or mistaken.
This is the stones,
a crew of medicine—
I point to the dead,
the day,
the man so impressed,
the light, the ammunition.
This one-step-ahead interaction
glints of gold running,
through shame
(the smile),
was dry.
I imagine
minutes:
your rules
your hours.
