chagall backdrop

Sensate
the sex
like bullets
come way too quick
intensely direct
muscles tauten
sinew tightens
lengthens
carves the lithe line
of the body
down the legs
through the stroked arch
to polished red pointes

on a rush
of warm water
she floats
reduced
to a point

face-up
calm
down
the
unwound
winding
creek
