Perforated Smoke
I first laid eyes on her
in noon-hour standoff
certainty of contrail breath
swirling swallowed heat
to thighs of disrepair.
She struggled
to speak in
blinding rage
of retrograde
temporal sloth
moving overlap
through seaweed
statue question
inhalation.
Kicking off
from twenty-story
mundane lookalike
she's fading now to
perforated smoke.
