LYN LIFSHIN
In Those First Moments 

esp after valium or linden tea, the nothingness comforts. Then, what is leaks back in. My skin with the blood soaked squares, a woman in clunky heels attempting salsa gauged. Not the first week or month’s long litany of gauze, silver, Adaptec tapes— that “just one more thing” days after a bruise finally heals. I think of one love, seeing his leg blown off in Nam, and then the other, bleeding, dangling yelped One is fair but this, this is carrying it too far
