AFTERMATH
like wind pain takes
……………shape against body
cuts its portrait
…………..out of in with flesh
the frame left
…………..when adrenaline

where you end
………….there you begin
AFTERMATH
when the woman corrects
……….her should to could

…………your plural wounds
……………………the car & you both
……………………………….just two bodies
…………………….untethered subsumed
………….by you only
to playact the rift
………..one form seeks from another
