tapestries

156 41 49
                                    


the sharpest berries live in the back of the fridge

frigid sourness flavor soaked in tungsten syrup.

after dark some go home others gather walking

constricted ways I count rosaries of sun-dried

curd-chilies eating my stiff spinach hair

like a good boy my every-other-gully name

leaps off my flickering body & I crane

at every audible word possible name.

stay in touch touch stays isn't much anyways

arms around necks like flayed women peeling off their stakes.

a thud of resurrection the drum of drawing wire

from cold metal before thickly spun before completion

add sibilance to my name rousingly punctuate vowels

making me a thread content with being thread.
