![]() I know of nothing more inspiring than that of making discoveries for ones self. --George Washington Carver how can i speak with ten voices / at once, become a billion / bodies bridged into the ground like salt / discover myself twice / first as my name / then as consonants dangling like locusts’ feet / unafraid / as a bandaged scar / torn
across my mouth / like morning tides / milk-pale, fluttering / feather-green fingertips / autistic and hidden inside / the afternoon, wilted into a thousand / eyes, a daydream / trying to steam its way out / pleating in on itself / fists plucking / tendons, extracting the pulse / the distance between, accelerated / like vernacular / syllables perfused / on my lips / frozen into wings of orbit / reciting infinitudes / folded into water, a hook / i reach / i reach / i reach / Comments are closed.
