By Sandrine Letellier
this way yes this way
the avalanche
lifts up her arms for dramatic effect
looking down at this territory of me
all these unholy apertures
to unfurl loads of sullied whites
I am not dressed for this tempest
my body is wet fabric heavy
but I won't fold under the slab
of my own love
