neck and neck

neck and neck

A Poem by Ashley H

i keep all of your ideas in my front pocket as
mementos of when the ball would play favorites
pinning you down with the kind of thrust that ties a ribbon in the midst of my most lead-footed of fingers 
take it as guesswork
that
balding hem
you nourish like furor
was dripping decoys alongside the bends that house your jaw 
draping
wary measures
link-bent
so that the knots play like folds
and the washes keep score
