Seafood Platter

Important--
not to feel alone
a hummus plate
manifest trauma reactivity
quiet sound of compassion
like a painful gut train
excuses only
leaving green others
for greener
spotty and veiled
the screen is hot
the picture overexposed
expressly shot that way,
to look 20 years old.
waning of affect
functions inversely
and in verse.
