i'm playing with the idea of a kind of speculative poetry. no title for now.
i.
wave swallower penumbras
we chose to condense
into who i am
collapse into
my eyes
this
time
this
clot
this
time
a second universe again
a pillow
then
a pit and a stake
again
the pearl in the one
the knot-in-skein
an event again
and i
found
i
in carrying the carrying i
and does my carrying carry length yes
and does a carried length spiral yes
does length as spiral carry yes
in spirals
will a tubular yes
with the eyes of the visible
will rest come yes
and come to crave the names again yes
with the eyes and mouths of the visible
come to crave the names and the yes
the yes and the carried names to carry distance
with
with
and loss have created distance
the inventor of gestures
creates the back
the distance
between
the created heart
and the created throat
created time this time
oh lonely p
lonely pau
i’ve grown fingers
they unfurl before me like
god
your direction
made an eye
and sees me
will i feel
before the fracture
try
not to fear
the tempering
skin
veil of grace
architecture of veils
the
dimension of skin
the and
and
the with
with and within
