Love at Thirty-Two Degrees

Today I dissected a squid,
the late acacia tossing its pollen
across the black of the lab bench.
In a few months the maples
will be bleeding. That was the thing:

was
no blood
only textures of gills creased like satin,
suction cups as planets in rows.
Be careful
not to cut your finger
