a helping

Palms pressing
the rim.
Purging
bullshit.
Thick convulsions
of jealousy,
spitting
rejection.

Palms pressing
the handle.
The neck taut,
blunt blade,
white yolk
sclera sinking
in psychosis.

Palms gripping
the bottle.
Possessing
hard balled
fists.

Palms in prayer —
never.

Weak
with devotion.

My hands
longing for yours.
