belly curves low spine
unrest digest protest acts of motion
the disc slps
casual dp
hp
rhythm’s
the loss of I’s
her spine cd be
a snake in grass
on the back of
Dionysous
grapes in hand
underfoot
the sqish of juce
fluid flshed pshd
through
the loss of U and I
garnet of
overthinking
rnd and cld
against the
loss of O’s a
hole
between
skins boned sinew
she curves it around weeds
auric cleansing leaves
lies down
on jadestone
slowburns like
hot jumping coal
on new year’s day
before tossing the
Persian lentils
necklace of her
spinous process
irregularity
in irregular
time
while reading Loba
the sound of teeth pulling flesh
strings
back reality
flint edges of rock
a warm cave
pelvic cage, caught swirls
misremembering what’s
hers or hers––
what is borrowed
in chronology of
nerves.
