Trap
I can be blue or wild, I said but you have to remind me how, no
show me how it looks on the map: recalculating, recalculating, recalculating.
Tremble the perch, slit and swallow sing a song of sex pinched, chokingly now.
Coda before the curtsy, he lured me with blue, caught me with blue, needled the nest with sticks and spit and blue, blue. Blue.
