Carrie Cutler
From the poem “Intimacy”:
“…the woman choked, low and raspy
it never occurred to me not to dance
for the dumb tumble of luck
I trusted nothing but my back pocket
there came a still moment–
we were closer than lovers who part,
sure of their bodies
he reached for me and I for the knife
like a play worn out, I knew I would reach inside him
and rope us together: we understand this mauled world…”
