To bend to be consumed by the parallel
of the look
gazing off to some new wall
that hadn’t been resting there
that hadn’t claimed the entire level
of the act
Eating through wretches
& the corpse of time
there is a kind of melodrama that
swings out from your feet
While heads stretch
& glances must find the eyes
They must line up with something
to clue you in to the image
you hunted this morning
In the frailer cups of coffee
where you harboured resentment\ resilience
for a while
while you studied your propensities to swallow
huge chunks
of the temporary; like a bathing suit
you just can’t get rid of
but covers you somehow & reveals you
somehow
