Things Impossible to Swallow • poems by Pamela Garvey • number 24 in the 2River Chapbook Series • 2River
Cocaine
hummingbird pulse
feeder taps its morse code into
the awning window blazing
with spikes of sunrise pupils
like wasp eyes winged things
under the skin needle cuts
the same niche in the record
over and over sweat spots
shirt, pants, the bed
trembles a few drinks to torch
the ice of consequence
