Balsa (2013)

There’s nothing in that hip-sway swagger–
that shows anyone the broken parts of you.

    I only know because I put them there
        one by one by one.
        an eye for an eye for an eye.

[fair or right doesn’t occur,
not in the heat of it.]

I guess I’m just not as good at hiding the splintered balsa of me.
But don’t worry,
Between you and the karma,
I’ve got more than enough gnaw-marks on my edges.

You don’t ever shake that hip-sway swagger.
