Diane Callahan

On a Whim

​Delete every version of yourself all the pixels of thought X’s mar
the spots you no longer want to be touched arms cradle air nothing
can escape the skin, not even a name, and one sunny afternoon
while weeding the garden you will forget whose hand holds
the trowel an improbable schism of body and mind but one can
destroy the self on a whim.
