I found her to be only half-baked. 
Inquiry into her private matters,

     and watertight bewitched craft

its an hour past mid nite

Phantom moving through the near empty streets
not much going on at this late empty nite hour
not a word uttered to the motor cyclist

The tip of a finger, barely touching ulcerated skin
   Chamfered ache of reason, or finely balanced whim
  Forced through a reality, where spoons become bent

pique of future flowing moments unfurling from

swept up and immersed
in peaceful emptiness

leaps and thrives
