necklaces

collaborative poem by vince bauters and josh zoerner

"necklace"

cold shoulders and hungry eyes, i
fit you back in recklessly, but i am
relentless.

i speak when spoken to.

you describe yourself as an animal
with spots on its skin, and i am
less impressed than i was hours ago.

these notions of
pursuit

give white
knuckle fever.

if i were to cleanse myself in
dark water the jaws of my mouth
would remain clenched, held still

i am a colorless moon setting.
