COMING, DENYING, KNOWING, SNAPPING, CALLING

Fire empties unto a pulp
Of neutrons, the honky-tonk
Blasts chicken wire, a cord

Of wood disappears into the folds
Of a ruined hand, essentially
What happens doesn’t

Stutter before the mathematics
Of denouement, pineapple
Juice complicated by a suspension

Of ginger and somewhere
An ex-girlfriend rinses soap
From her knees
