Mere Images

By T. Dove Lourde

I bit the bullet -
Your death tasted like love to me -
sweet, dry and dangerous -
like a car crash hidden in the desert -
while the faces of the diners were buried in their desserts, unaffected -
contented in their champagne wishes -
their whip-cream judgments
and spilt affectations
