I imagine Isabelle Huppert’s demure 
face tastes like sloe pineapple 
upside-down cake. glassy and sweet. 
the stray baked berries
found underneath.

I imagine kissing those cheeks is just like 
the time my skull was heaped open 
by that plumed stone plunged from a towering perch. 
quelle voltage! 
et tâches de rousseur, salés! 

wanton sparks dashed astreak 
that full-length gasp, so vast
and – ruthlessly  disharmonious,
the whole-blossomed jolt
sirened a frenzied hum of bees.
