UNFINISHED CIRCLES CRY ALONE,,,,
AS IF THE SKY CAN EVER BE SYPHONED
WE CRAWLED ACROSS THE FLOORING,
HANDS SEEKING SHELLS EYES
SEEKING ANY REMNANTS OF A PLACE TO CALL HOME
WHEN III SEE UUU ,,,, WE ARE IN THE SECOND PERSON
UNFINISHED CIRCLES CRY ALONE,,,, WHEN THE CONFLUENCE SEES US WE ARE IN THE FIFTH
AS IF THE SEA CAN EVER
PLATEAU A MIDNIGHT MEANDER
IS THE TIDE
WE CANNOT UNSEEE

~~ the countless ways to cross a body ~~
if a river can intersect itself, i remeander my own mouth
if a tributary can unriver itself, i mend a demure navy to rest abrasions
