Frame a Suicide as Murder
New scene: perfectly symmetrical sucking yolk violence.
Behind back his eggs graze her hips & revert to such a state of domestication toes curl inward.
They remain like snow year-round their vessels quiet against a handsy god.
Their lips edge shoulder blade a curve appears first as diaspora then again as whimper on body.
Also Called a Slump
Scene unlatches quick: her body anchors crotch & car snow melt or runoff & they shouldn’t but he knows how to dive for pearl knows how to catch it between thumb & forefinger. They’re back to present: car pulls in teeth bite lower lip, a little noise like a growling or stirring appears.
