GLYPH

 

 

such a deep ache

where the weight of me

tilts on bones

 

i would take apart

the cairn

to hold that action

gather rotted nails

pitted glass

 

fevers reach turns

within my abdomen

lined like sodden

red silk

exclamations

and rebuttals

 

id take you out and

put me in

 

cant do anything

this late again

 

count the palm

stones

deftly

like crows

shadows

 

..O..
