Frost blossoms
A semiphore for something stolen
While a flower of pain blooms through her body
Like a jagged steel lotus.Her laughter tastes like burnt sunshine
Cactus
And the worm
And she drifts about,
Picking up wounds
Her scarves drenched with intuition
She draws the fist, the hands of men
Hard as God's
the same hands that outline lips
In the lover's braille.
It takes a certain kind of genius
To believe
Your own lies.
