After O

Extremity can be sordid if you search
for similarities, some sort of flash she

was absolutely certain that he loved
her, but it was a fleeting certainty
that vanished as fast as it had come.

Is variety the same as an exit
without proper burial rites?

I bite the inside of my lip,
my tongue presses welts of flesh,
a screwed up taste for blood

memories prowling up and down
stealthy skin I once saw you in.

This is not what I had in mind
and yet I can't decide.
