Abject countenance with detached contempt and...

To sit with Carlton Vishizwa and Charlotte Genivieve,

Monofilamania
It is so hard to let go of love,
lovingly.

unpeels more gut more quickly
than reel or reeler ever lost
in all those years of lazy inches

casting,
winding in and playing out,
hardly fishing, rarely catching
anything

where time leeched
bleeding claret 
through the green 
veined blues

protean bit by bit
the flesh disappears
