collar throat jaw bone lobes
ears all frontal , cortex
compliantly laced —
us ( dis ) placed
and unmapped traces —
traced paths and tracks
of us waterbound .
thighs undone and legs
gone astray : socked calf muscle
and toe pointed to your nose —
you think of the constellations
of collar throat jaw bone frontal lobes
: one ear lobe thorax relaxed
as my hip pulls its socket twists —
bone hard lap : my fingered spine
i must unplace bone joint disjoint —
( re ) join metal wing and blade
on the flesh of forearms ; soft kiss
this is . missed . wire meshed .
you ( un ) wind that constellation
— no it was consternation, darling —
of collar throat jaw bone frontal
lobe little lashed globes ; eyelight
through the eyelet of an opened mouth .(20/12/2017)
