how comfortable it is to sit here knowing what to say, as if this lump in my throat had a voice of its own, or was engraved with symbols, maudlin as my eyes, and i could read them clearly.
this artifact was found by accident in some ancient village of self-images --used for chipping off pieces of self.
do i interpret my own primitivity well?
fragments glint unburied under heavy breathing firelight. loud, blinding, it makes the night an iridescent one. i rave some, dance-invent discovery, then quiet in the fade.
there is a core of me, to this accumulation ventured.. i'm afraid i only guess though, like groping in the night.
nails in hair, the boney trail i leave behind may cure the barrenness
i'm feeling differently now, having explored darkness sharpness in the dirt.
