    with little tongues of fevered flames.

    You know,
    the serpent pushes past the lips,
    opening and closing with another hiss,
    biting down at the core of a word that struggles
    to try to get past the raw afterbirth of crushed apple.

    Accidents happen,
    and it was no exception,
    to the same patterns sewn together
    into a quilt of stories.

    Attrition
    ---------

    The dark circles form targets around the eyes.
    A punch drunk night hitting hard
    on all the exposed vulnerable spots,
    the shadows boxing at the bared surfaces
    of a sleepless unconsciousness.
    There are no real answers to any usual questions,
    and the only facts remain a kind of attrition,
    as to what was loved.

    ---------------------

    Blinding
    --------

    The explosion was a slow motion burst into long months of shrapnel, Similarities,
    her likenesses,
    broken off,
    Disconnected,
    from the familiar image,
    their differing flung,
    into the retinas,
    blinding as certainly as a red hot iron
    plunged into the remaining white emptiness
    of wishing to see.
