Concerto in Coffee Break Minor

I. Initial Contact

what once became a wave tremble

of fingers tightly warmed in pockets
now arises in warm explosion—whiskey
crash, stomach walls.

what once became a fluttering

of rubber wings between groin
and sternum now releases ‘tween
once tremble lips—harmonic
webs, contextual sounds.

what once became a flush

of bloodied rivers up the center
towards the cause now becomes
two drifting dimples towards the sky—warm
harmonic baritones from ‘tween chest and thigh.

II. Past Insurrection

there once became,

a man from Greece,
backwards.
her loved he, until Night—
silent
as the breath of dawn,
departed he
her arms.

III. Now

contorted.

a vine. ideas wrapped python

grip around an ancient wooden man:
so too we struggle.
so too we squirm.
