I

does it last

the night a deep

a deep fissure

suspended day

like ash

light

 

half

the half tolting

belief-ridden

down the grain

grey

of a

twilit beach-head

 

what measure

round sleep

sleep curled

in sleep’s organs

lungs

brain a

heart like

son

 

how slow

commit

 

the sky-rent

of

severed furling

 

loose falls

dream-like

mouth

fingers

hair

hollow tongue

blood

 

can we then cascade

without

falling

without without

 

commit the question

 

she is an accountant

bare legs in summertime

but no

 

shadow of earth

rips through

all

all everyone all

everything all

gathered together
