V3


What they did not teach
When they showed us the ways of Go
Was that sixteen years later
That same verb
In a sentence with only one
Adjoining component
Could drill beneath my left breast
Like a corkscrew
Reeling streaks of blood,
Changing costume as it reels
To find the one that fits best.

How I learned this language
Fails to convey that feel.
Reel on, Go.
The missing keys are tell-tale.
Went. Reel on,
Stop at number three:
He's Gone.
