Intensely morning           this face in the broken

smashing. How will the air receive

our crumbling?

I spent the entirety of my youth ministering to my open sores. The grid underneath my skin maps a breath in motioned time. Pulsar invariable. The stray passenger between lives and people—beginning to drone. Wet, dark warm. It was all flowers blooming in the veins. Pure quadrants of direction—solstice of orogeny. I connected my selves to other selves and the dark things they do. It was here between the arts I took my first bride and buried my vows in my forearm. The state had formed under my breath through my eyes—the world brightened in sharp drowning noise. I tongued through the air a green moisture in her aroma. She took my shadow and left me disconnected to the feet I had compassed. Errant erratic. Exact aperture of misunderstanding. I pled constantly to save my life.

To have a culpability. The dirty calm

striations. The sun hue struck

wisps in clouds. I had learned how to mouth my name.

Call this a way out.
