Before The Arresting

Image borrowed from Bing


before the arresting

(for F.N., during taffy-pulling October)

before the arresting
winter, take the city
sharply between
your fingers, pull
and twist it, stretch
it into the light
until it takes on
the most
delicious
sheen, then
give it a hard
and chewy
bite
before folding
it into late
November
.
