The palm-sized kernel
of closure and proof
for we can overcome, and do
as violent-impossible
as it may seem
that nose, those eyes
that hypnotized
from blink to blank,
they let go
their victims, drop them
from suspension,
lift out from
tidal turbulence
and back into
a life
far outside the context
of skin and scent and secret
there is hurt -
and disappointment, too
for the rush just dwindles
to a stain
of what was once
a spill
