the ass end of a brown toyota pickup
was the last thing i saw
as my soul exploded
deep into the jacksonville night
all fiery hues of orange and purple
and my body
reeling
shaken
visibly disturbed
violently vibrating
volatile and even
visited by volitional visions of vacuity
violating vulpine vigor
vulvaceously vindictive
to be vulgar
of that voracious voodoo vision
of vibrant voluptuosity
my vertebrae in vicious venereal vertigo
my lover
my very lover
…leaves me
spring/summer, 1997
