first
cannibal
after november
blind
to not be numb
dream (four times)
forgetfulness
angel
first morning
laconic
drown
deep
maidenhead
milk
this
wake
dark blue
rotten scorpio
little v. flea
from me to you
exit
dry
the lines left behind
guilty
sever desire
falling slowly
esperando
dark spiral
sparkle
confetti
bodies pound beats
milk

The resuscitation
of chalky bones,
a spindly frame, inert
(crushed)
begins -
Drained dusty entrails are almost
pulsing
again
(more cautiously, at first)
The whole thing is so
evanescent, evaporable
(fragile)
But surely enough, tender skin-covering
reweaves across the broken
sticks
And when the limbs are working again,
they pull you close
And cold, brittle lips licked hot again
brush your flesh for nourishment
drinking long, sucking
(we're so thirsty)
thus dry, chalky bones abandoned once
find a wet forest to call home:
We dive in.
