Accomplice
The Guadalquivir
quivers like she's hiding something.
Drunk men fall into her
pewter arms
beating the alloy around them.
Freezing vice she holds on tight
facilitating the accident no longer waiting to happen.
Like all violence, there is an embrace.
Like any affair, there is an ache.
She does not bruise.
