the wife - just married - smiled in my direction

the cold boarding house bed linens would be warm very soon

tongue moving like a typewriter

consumes along the definition

we fell into your grateful bed

as I wrote a whispering memo on your lips

hurried breathing a softer coda

of a small body

a little gray alien

to believe

his consciousness running

following the truth

trying to fix herself

exposing dangers of granite

now that the strange blinding light was gone,

her only real pain was consciousness.

he knew to anticipate the kill.

moaning in the dark

her touch lights a fuse

Circled, Climbed, LIT a candle

sucking sound with it

without seeing the pictures

of elegant page-turning
