am

paste this stride.
a snare riddles,
and i lag.

confide in sills.
blow the bulb.
springtime.

rags, rulers,bones—
clarinet’s shadow.
peel this print

a drum. grackle.
leaden gut,
chin resting on hands.

baleen helmet.
rampant coupling.
archaeology.

marrow’s eckell—
a tracking method,
mud on the fingertips,

point neck to sky.
grounded,
longing. distances.

here. there.
attempted.
voyeur. shovels.
