carrying a hammer
wearing spaghetti straps
sparse field of hair
green short-shorts,
dry lips,
grains, kale in teeth,
cannot make eye contact.
tall and crooked
splotchy red chest,
canine obsequity
hand-chopping the air
eyes rimmed like rib-eyes
waistline punishing
waistband
shirt stain profile described as robust
legs too heavy to bother,
lifting.
laughing at everything she says
smells like bubblegum,
fingerprints, bruises
shoulders
secret smile,
like two people put together with cardboard and glue,
crumpled,
freshly skiffled manuscript
sheets on a bunk bed in a cabin
incessant-waves-of-doubt-
crushed-garlic-breath
clouds
race across the moon,
but in the mirror
behind locked doors
no compromise.
talked like a locomotive sailor
but cold, soft, unlined hands.
looked bad in jeans.
