A Bad Influence

A windblown hint of frozen perfume:

To touch and ease through nasal passage, delicacy,

and to warm the solidifying impression of flesh.

Intentions withheld, but lucid to those that conjunct them;

sonorous with the heavy clang of iron according, and, to taste of smoke of scalding

and mind of child.

Depressions in a wrist, slivered actions that the well-minded soul would perceive as control,

and a snaked lip switch that squirms and spats into a breath.

Silent, poison cordial-sweet, justification of the beholder

That, with a moment's indecision, is wrapped and made to be justice

(on a steak).
