Galway says porcupines will consume
almost anything the human hand touches
Table legs, axe handles, toilet seats.
In my heart a slumbering porcupine is stirring.
Was it the shape of my breast under the loose shirt,
his hands slipping in and leaving traces of salt behind?
Words pierce the flesh. Will work their way in
to the heartwood? Salt in the wound.
