i brave the decay, screaming your name into my apostrophe.

the antibiotics are presenting diminishing returns.
so the festering is still angry, and the sun like a mortal wound

as i recall, i tossed a yellow pumpkin
into the heart of the midnight sun.

without lessons.

but not

i crept out of my skin and forged a broken wing
from the thigh bone of a thunderclap. i spoke to myself.

and only never
