t(w)o rise through metal

t(w)o rise through metal



Such a rascal! Come sit.

Careful now;

Mommy's breasts sore

One more story but

firsta

simple

lesson bout school

Sweetie,

friends ill never

speakforyou

baby,


one can never be two

(

)

butjustone

saccharine

lolly

may get baby

through

folly




Recollection relies on the sore spots


Channels their magnetism


Assembles crude tapestries of metal into protean orbs of reflection


No common center - starry - fractured


Somehow centripetal




Wait with alacrity. Form grows thin,

form grows thinner. Flesh arms

striated, aping red ridges

of clay and boulder


Wait here; whittle the memory,

whittle away your own thumb

He'd rather you mount from behind. A mountain

spring bisects conifer from deciduous

Leaves sweep away down-stream



What rises from flesh


has stench, yet is supple


as symbol when altered


through pain
