dressed in distraction



dressed in distraction

a cold shower deters
careful questions:
her head injury?
your heart’s inquiries?

to revisit grief & graves
on that farm in virginia,
my received unanswers
take a louder sleep back.

not safe and soft and sweated
like the hottest cat bath,
your beforehand intends.
no, backhand don’t

talk to thats and misses! here
we pack down and press, backwater
aims at bitter and bitten,
fingers tipped to this side of silence.
