and brought night with me,
wore idol and eider down
like prairie fire spilling
from a wispy mountain
like blood in my body
gone speechless
and high wire
when the heat mutates into experience
when the fallen rise from the floor
and cannot locate where it hurts
thinning light
scud and scarred
vacuumed into the current’s core
like a lovers fist
discontinuous at your looming
your “I will be there soon”
hold a spot for me at the reception
a crack in the monotony
nerve endings unfurling
and how deep
is your wound
up river
something breaks you open
a biography of forgetting
molecules,
nearly nothing
nearly everything
