vise - gripped
by Ashley Alvis
 

      In the barn,
 feeling their hour with  minute
                          details,
               overalls:  straps,
                         flapping
                 bibbs  babbling;

           they  rode  !
                      each   other's viced versus
    like a crucible  smashes
                    two sides  into
                              incite;
      they wrote, 
        clenched in a silence
           that  the animals,
     nervously    twitterting!
         were  a   fray to echo.
