What could not actually could be,
until rescue made him
no longer the alternative to no one.
What could not actually could be,

She rose to blow closed
the bald spot in her hair


You who would have me
run this trail to elude me,
who would have you, and I do.
You slow and I pounce and we
tumble together,
relishing our exquisite death.
