She

speaks to mothprophets 
under the greatlight- 
so easy to mistake 
manicfight for panicfright
-worse came to worse-
over&over my shoulder
i glance- solid stance
dainty defense against
-whowhatwherewhy-
when i was there &
how hard i tried &
collective sigh shaking
heads revolving doors
circlemotion opensores
-too soon- footprints
cover the floor
