it seeps like sap down the spine this tar, or fear, or hate of mine beads opaque and thick and full of sin i pick and peel but they get in
i still dream but blue, it blurs to black deep seascape of a tormented hand, i bind, am bound, to the things i pretend i understand circle of a girl eyeing squares of man
light is the letting go hoping you pull, forgetting you won't each time i forget, i melt and i drip, a bad trip.
but when i think of teeth discerning meat from bone alone, i float back with loose palms, a calm.
