You come, you come
A line of translucent light
And you touch me,
A hand, shoulder blade exposed
You come and you dissolve the wax
with the blind ear
Impenetrable, I wandered, closed off
All in silk trickle
// Against, I say, against
Powerlessness, resistant the language
With the refrain that emaciates
The now
You come and you unfurl
Uncertain crackling of fissures
Ulna against malleolus
Lashes and flagella to explore
Pallor, to flush
Redness
(You enchant me
Again, I am
On stone here
Emerging on the surface
Of the stretched horizon
To appear, disappear
Petals and leaves of wings to spread
Going
Still going
