raze
i've
never
written
a
thing
on
paper
down
here
.
so
how
you
wound
up
on
the
basement
floor
wedged
between
the
dryer
and
the
washing_machine
is
a
mystery
to
me
.
you
are
pumice
and
polyvinyl chloride carved
into
the
shape
of
a
heart
.
no
ferule
to
fit
you
to
the
end
of
a
word
-weaving wand.
only
the
fugitive
stain
of
plan
-proof
possibility
to
blight
your
salmon
skin
.
you
hold
a
second
heart
in
your
hearth.
a
muscle
from
which
you
cannot
be
unmoored.
i
brush
the
dirt
from
your
backside
and
sniff
the
sulphur
that
fortifies
your
soul
.
i
cradle
you
in
the
palm
of
my
surest
hand
and
feel
the
open
fist
of
your
face
begin
to
pulse
.
this
is
the
only
music
worth
making
or
moving
to
.
i
know
that
now
.
