So Fallible
She will fall onto that bed of nails
she pinned you to
for the same sins
a month, a week, an hour
later
and wince with recognition.
She will take the rope
she hung you with
and twist it
round her own fair neck
seeking to learn something
of closure.
She will break the mirror
your portrait has become --
use the pieces to carve another course.
Bleed a bit of human
slick and slipping.
She will paint these words
as epitaph
on the common Lascaux.
Look. Your hand fits
that print, perfectly.
So Fallible was first published by Conspire.
