Unkinking the kinked; splitting
two into one; whiting out
mistakes made in pairs
while one sits quietly bites
the lip white while
the other spits
unused anger white
at the corners
of the mouth.
And while the lather cakes,
his bride makes work
of lives recoiling
like cut barbed wire...
...the man of the house
on fire eats his wife and children
without listening to her dying...
to make light
of darkness
in their 50 minute hour...
