faded bruise
by Amanda Oaks
i’m left
dodging the utterance,
the erratic matrix,
the constant current of words,
that menstruates
from your mouth,
an orbit
of doublespeak fancy
that trips the light
around my head

i’m always left,
never right,
spinning in the sequence
of words dressed
to transgress
what lowercase meaning
and
what little use
we all actually have
