8.2.15

I TURN ON               empty
The moon is missing
beyond the windows
between where we are and where we are going

The body has memory
The body has a threshold

a joke stuck in her throat
watch it rupture
multiply it’s meaning

A foreign film without translation


Who said that? She said what? He said what?
My mouth? His mouth? Your mouth?

Words work well oiled
skin as wallpaper
and despite everything
            the body remains                                      dangling from rafters

The rope inside us
the tree inside us
to stand naked I stood naked
to sleep;  to each; to rest in peace
