Just One Time
disintegrate into flowers, silk and mud
poison ivy, moth balls and lady bugs
Bibles, engines, magic wands and fatted calves

she couldn't understand exactly what it meant at the time

i only wanted to control her, just one time
the writings got blurry
the words became fluid
fluent in all languages
...i dropped the pen as i collapsed upon the paper placed in front of me
