ship followers song reports
within watch coats
inner pockets of stale cake
will joint voyage for
bodily eruption from plaits
downy mast head meeting
• • •
meteor de-orbits
and burns
re-enters what was Friday
20 tons
of debris
O people on Fiiijiii!

divide hour into smaller units
water clock futurist
mind leaks grass whistles
field of peacock blue

how can I sleep through a night with no end?
I get up and scrawl lines of words I wish  ; I didn’t exist
as lightning destroys the sky and the sea wants the boat
I open my night shirt let the torrent
drum my body my shell hardened breast my unbattened sex
all the people in the world and I can only think of you in the curvature of rain
all the wrecks it has seen a bird circles exhaling darkness
after Yuan Chi and Anonymous (Six Dynasties)

chest of phalli cradle
hands to torso till rose
hips in bowl crushed
darkpit of mollusk
lip down scoliatic spine to
foaming Ionian uprise
beneath flex of land
your shores are drowning
