walking this day backwards
: re-enter sleep as rising : given the dream has not skin nor substance
bridgeless
vacant din shoved of wood
and a room scaled cowboy size
. can’t weight it down .
blear crossing to
bartender . table murmurs
. steak knives
. legful ache of scowled
bees .
singing might
help . this holding an axis by walls and .
edges shred up misplacing objects
. stop . my ear to window in snakeskin boots reach through floorboards fusing
. stop it
. where all this wind . make out no fury no sight and caught . a gravity . focal shifting
of
“it’s okay because once I had
to be this for you.”
to be quiet precious
/ or
bright and less life-like
stop .
this stop .
but all the same began stop .
is a kind of falling
anti-performance
. not wanting .
this . no
you don’t see”
she said coming in clearly spinning generates
a silence
between shapes of
torso and light
folding
“it’s okay because“
the voice not
[ (stillness) +
(pressure) ] / (axis) = rotation question :
so when did this begin? answer
: a day ago last year or before
no time there is you must understand in finding the hidden room a way out
of and this was between ours with light more open eyes could stand a bigger
sun to discover the lower rooms we
were this enormous space having lived on top of possibility waiting
underground or growing there question :
only rooms then? answer : no but remember this staircase opened
into corridor but not who belonged to it which house and a door at the top
of the ceiling she called the portal said I found the portal and telling
people made them strange like when I went into it the people living behind
shoved at the door not at all friendly and wanting our sides to stay that
way and make a word secret to
memorize its shape failing in my head we moved into a house without
a portal but a window with his ghost coming through to touch my arm that he
was not alive but kept his substance

who are you
speaking (to)?
sky being of the thing round -
ness continues and how suddenly one might be on a train distancing a basic frame of geologic
marking and blinking she said
“I am covered in universe”
we were wrong
the whole time
without substance (somehow he an unfixture at the window) no eyes but a searing
in all
night trying with who is breathing breast bone magnesium
fracture can’t hide it
turning over
and again shot from
my back
bear this
