A History of Unintended Violence (Metamorphosis)

I
he doesn't realise he's pushing
past a vortex with his skin intact
mistakes Melpomene for Calliope

II
his love a star a light that illuminates
eyelashes on cheeks wounded birds in the road
swept aside by a scorching trajectory

III
the impact does not the surface stir
her hades as thirsty as ground
she swallows a single drop of blood
