like years of church functions
rocking back and forth on chair legs-
******* the back against the corner
shoelaces stained by the summertime.
lock limbs in search of abandoned public restrooms
windowlit and forgotten planter pots
legs shaking inside.. for want of dog teeth
flaking off. white as oxidized lead
beds. graveyards
for
generations of guilt titrating out of the skin hips
out
of us like sweat
that iso-stains
precipitate.
your
sashimi eyelids_
my
diorama for you.
