time will be latex, a dance électrique torqued contortion fantastic

her brow, eye sip lipped blur
flinching side to
side slide

into turquoise
and cerulean
uncertainty.

At a thousand
seconds arousal an
atomic bridal

slur — gendered
in a pattern not of
her making.

Vinyl surfacing
wrapped shrink
round so trapped

in reflection:
belief critical to
self aqua ecstatic-

time will be latex,
a dance électrique torqued
contortion fantastic.
