Coming to cephalic withdrawl,
sharing a deadly delusion,
O my world -
I will not ask,
...
Today,
small things ask some uncomfortable
questions. I enter the eye of a wound.
...
You gave it
when you were poor.
Today I went to unwrap the gift.
The soul! Ripping out from the body
...
hopscotch, retrieve a pebble
from the lake,
sitting under a tall tree
...
Lips tremble
like sentinels
when legs burn like candles
whole night,
...
Again I scare myself
of the very thing.
Moon was landing on lake
for inward probe.
...
take back your smile,
the fish has died in my hands;
nowhere you have touched me
deep in the brutal corona of a black moon -
...
Blood and bones
become qualification
watching and being watched.
...
like ether, permeating all space
mesmerizing,
he walked away, head of his enemy
in his hand,
...
