Shelly waves us away like gnats
"you have no concept
or if you do
its tainted"
she expresses airily
flying around the TV cabinet
a moth without flame to seek
We assemble
or reassemble from total rout
and suggest parley
Shelly explodes without preamble
large chunks of derision
spattering the new couch
dripping from the cat
smeared on the newly polished floorboards
We wipe it away as best we can
with hands tied behind backs
with mouths of grim determination
We assemble
or reassemble
and seek terms
Shelley leaves us in her wake
a foaming trail
swirling down the hallway
to places we never wanted to go.
