"A SENTENCE"
by Nate Pritts

The back of my head is a pale flannel bed sheet
stretched smooth in morning light

except there is someone grabbing a handful
& twisting so that at the base of my skull

is an immense center of tension which I
have tried here to represent as something soft,

something that offered comfort when we were
two bodies fitted together in early glowing,

& which evokes that much more pain & sympathy
from the reader when they see the hand is yours.


from Sweet Nothing (Lowbrow Press, 2011)
