everything has danced

by Lauren Singer

in the vessel of someone else's tailored shirt, the pocket ripe for unbuttoning, lint gathered at the bottom, a bouquet of discarded thread, fresh picked dryer waste hinting towards fingerprints and intimately regarded pattern-choice. if anyone were watching, had anyone noticed at all, against the chest of an unnamed man, the lint would dance in rhythm to the walk and vibrate through solar-plexus chants. a waltz for dead things in weary stalls.

That last line is an uppercut straight from hell. I love it.
