2 Corinthians 2:14-16


Her aroma fans
and folds into him.
His inequity surfaces;
his death is uncovered,
tries to hide: broken limb.
Chin to skin in shame;
forbids his breath.
Her entrance spritzes
permanence and tunes
his ears to the voice
of a grave, shredding his
purpose into less
than mince.

Her finished scent
heightens his crave.
Strong, but strong,
she reeks of water.
She’s pollen’s smell
of death, holding life
against him, like
oil to an otter.

His life sits on belief
in the quick whiff
of her existence:
the vigorous tiff.
