Broken Rib Key

blue hands are signs of cyanide poisoning

and nervous ticks. friction comes easy to

wheels and fire escapes, sparks and stars and

gravity only works when the floorboards creak

on the edges. insides soft

and melting.

you are too sentimental for Sunday mornings

and I am a punch to the stomach to avoid

harming a pretty face, curved

too left

with the thumb held tight.
