| We lifted the body | |
| from the water like a gown | |
| You took off your bra | |
| to wrap the wound, | |
| though the man was dead | |
| and there was no need. | |
| Then your face turned red | |
| when you said to me: | |
| "I'll suck the marrow out and rape your hollow bones, Yoni." | |
| Alone, putting three coins into a washing machine, | |
| next to a caulked, cracked wall | |
| in the basement on Fairmount Street, | |
| I feel like a loop of the last eight frames of film before a | |
| slow motion Lee Harvey Oswald | |
| gets shot in the gut and killed | |
| "Billy the kid did what he did and he died." | |
