Declutter, depersonalize,
let’s snorkel down. Terrific view.
I saw you from across a flotilla
marbling your hands
like tracks to a timetable, no touching...
you be a woman I'll be a man.
The simple complex of entire atonement —
touch television — now proceeding normally
the mercury-brimmed scree
insubstantial in its unexpectedness
daybreak like absentia we leave before asking why there’s a handful of the lily, too weak for real pain evaporating into the leg
— no touching of the hair or face pumping like a fountain
a dangerous, frisky slither
on the train to a continuum;
tv ghosts retaliate against / falling or falling out
in daylight and programming on a sheer precipice.
