off-beat, head wobbling, knobby
girl-knees and small hands. too small.
I put everything of the world inside my body
and turn it into tiny green sprouts

the white glow from street signs at night

a cupped palmful of water and fish scales

falling from my half-open mouth and rising up
around me to swirl through my hair like a fever dream
and dissolve back into starmilk
starling
