Beneath the feathers
cradled in the elbow between
muscle and bone you perspire
fingernails adust
veins blued
retired to a chemical we are not
without desire and dissonance
just lacking in clarity
and a persistance of
worlds shouldered and terror
bared
tell me where were you the moment you discovered a
resonance in your rib cage
detracting from the song
in your skull tell me how
did you create emeralds from sand and
squirrells from avocados
i am no magician no musician
just a cacophany of threats and lullabies
just a retarded penguin slapping my wings against my thighs
of course there is beauty in
watching new freckles appear
tasting your boy's sweat
knock-kneed and
sweet of breath
discovering the subtle texture of your friendships
the folds in your soul
battling the red ants of your mind
an ice cube on your toes
the eyelashes of a wild mexican bull
