"eaveing" poems
I had the flu
When I was eight
Twenty seven
Blankets on top
Couldn't stop
My shivering
At five o'clock
In the eaveing
I got a hand
free from the pile
And saw the inch
Between the tips
Of my fingers
In every vein
was the same inch
Lump in my throat
One inch in size
Sinuses too
Everything = One
Then it would change
Fingers double apart
Throat double filled
Everything = Two
Then
Tilting my head
Twenty Seven
Degrees eastward
Focusing out
Bedroom window
A megazord
In my backyard
In every vein
My sinuses
And down my throat
I had the flu
