a woman all about love yesterday.

 
by Shira Dentz

                We have a single sky.

                     have a single slash

a single sleep rose
single sleeve rosebud
single slap rosette
single slice roster
   slide rostrum
a single slip rotunda
single slope rouble
single smell roue
single smile rouge
a single smoke rough
      snake roughcast
single snow round

gotta let the passageway silhouette,
benediction of my kneel creaks in ________ labyrinths;
trying to ________ pregnant, backgrounds with or without; married, single. pressing
hard, bloom drains from my hand. patch. sunlight dims
in the late aftertaste. sunshade dimming in the late age. 66°

Your pearl self slows power, circles
