lyrics
Crystalline compacting where rigor tends to settle in tetrahedron beneath my skin.
Above, a licking from the chromophores, abundant and warm, in biting wisps they swirl and they swarm.
When the crackling snow manufactures a mirror;
The repeated use of a face dissolves meaning.
Don’t trust in my ability to internalize your geography
Trampled paws precede the thought of ever calling you “home,”
And the bites to the stone, embedded in bone, leave a pulsing landmark.
Don’t trust in my ability to internalize your geography,
I am frozen from looking down,
The nose on an axis; the axis on a tilt.
Paradoxical undressing, terminal burrowing, your trehalose blood
Paradoxical undressing, terminal burrowing, vasoconstriction.
