Stickiness slowly dissolves walls
while the floor reflects night smoothing
the eyelid of the moon. It winks
like a mercurial thief when ritual's aftermath,
always remarkably relaxed considering
the amount of one-night stands who've
never heard of Dionysus but they'll
unstitch any muscled thigh, cry the same
party till you die if they don't tear
shreds from whoever takes them to bed.
