Some are learned
in the ways of panting.
Some leather gestures
wail.
You are a student of your own body:
Pleasure the selected photograph.
Derive the side-table.
She can’t stand
In her obstinate
obstinacy.
–– is bleeding
From the bedroom.
Ask me:
What constitutes a victim
-less crime?
Nothing is benign when laced
within your spinal warfare.
You are not immune
To conceptual frameworks. Not even
The ones that bring out
Your eyes.
