The Lovers on Wee Fictions - Christopher Barnes

Ideal Couple
 
Unblurred to one and all
Spoiled bodies
Ridden by each-word-a-blow tempers,
Thundering outhouse, porch and stairway.

When they’re unlatched
Ringside seaters squinny.
He swigs hole-and-corner methadone
Backstage of bins
While she drags the truth of her face
Into see-red mania.
