In that shit-dark hamlet
She picked me up by my backstory
And got into it, arms malfigured by angle
Black lines of squirted rubber on the wall
Hit by the flash
That was her invective against my wont
She won
Voice pregnant as anything with an uglier version of itself
it passed, noncompetitively
as so this contest
of personal loss
