Act II


We were scratching
at places that
no longer itched
Habits went down
in the last round
hard, and vita-
min E could do
only so much
for the scarring

Trust was dimming
when lightning struck
our second act
awake, alive
electric, like
Frankenstein’s child
more flexible,
fire-proof, god-
like this time
