Dinner

you don't understand
about the carpaccio
she said how it fed
into a silence having
nothing to do with
meat. what gives you
joy?
was her violent
pronouncement upon
his joyous anger how
the bastards had tried
but failed to put him
out of his misery she
did recognize it later
in chords and notes
torn out of his gut
offered with an ironic
smile she wanted to kiss
