armpit
raze
a
ligament
of
light
lives
here
,
where
tendril meets torso —
a
break
in
the
shade
i've
made
to
shield
us
both
from
what
would
impale
us
if
not
for
a
simple
accident
of
posture
.
the
sun
won't
stab
out
our
eyes
on
my
watch
,
though
no
timepiece
has
kissed
this
wrist
for
as
long
as
i've
known
the
acrid
taste
of
grieving
.
