A wary solipsist
has no place in church,
saloon or shopping mall –
though she cannot be sure.
Her only haven
is her goose-pimpled skin,
The only clarion call she heeds,
a snarling belly.
She trusts the counsel
of her throbbing wrists
and sage fingertips,
but she cannot place faith
in ephemeral scars.
