rising in my milky mind
like coral reef
beautiful and
jagged

s w i m m i n g i n s t i l l n e s s

stench of raw meat
odor of wet books
crawling through
time

t r u t h l i e s i n m o v e m e n t

i could just as easily eat
photographs or feet
as I could apples
or plums

t a l k l a c e s h a n d a n d s h o e

autumn delusions
paint gestured rumors
on the sky

i l l u s i o n i s a h u n g e r
