polarity matters
 
rigid thing
muscle-wrapped
between guts and gravity
mush produces cells and fortitude
in my grandfather, these things fell to malfunction
and he could not astonish me with coins and candy
drawing lines of mountain trout from the icy belly of Colorado
you broke thumbs,
rolled technicolor movies
ruined everything for everyone
i have to step between the embers of your rage
