We lifted the body from the water like a gown You took off your bra to wrap the wound, though the man was dead and there was no need. Then your face turned red when you said to me: "I'll s** the marrow out and rape your hollow bones, Yoni." Alone, putting three coins into a washing machine, next to a caulked, cracked wall in the basement on Fairmount Street, I feel like a loop of the last eight frames of film before a slow motion Lee Harvey Oswald gets shot in the gut and k**ed "Billy the kid did what he did and he died." -Marilyn Hacker
