1.
My heart is not in position
it’s on the verge
of murmur
-ation &
I can’t tell seabirds from starlings
because the sternum
area aches
(not heartache but space around heart
aching)
2.
E is distracted by me &
meridians keep skipping &
3.
there are natural gaps
for the things in the body
but the grief in your chest cavity
is causing
4.
hammock
or havoc
— the connecting tissues reek with it
& it’s stuck in the bones too
5.
let’s scoop it up with a spoon
let’s scoop it up with our palms
so as not to distort
6.
E is yawning in my ears
& I’m feeling tired
& I’m feeling homesick
for some maternity ward
that stamped me with energies
7.
I usually carry an etheric cable
but it has been temporarily misplaced.
