designing gesture
feminine. distinction. was bewitched while:
walking alone, somewhere in center queens.
do you know? all the ways i have chased smiles;
outer-space places i’ve already been.
flash. to his shooting. outside and within.
deities(y’s). names. tattooed. across his back.
returning. to blood droplets… bruising skin.
could you still fall in love? spelling attack.
i unraveled. silk. i gathered. your(‘e)… lack.
there was dance in his step. natural stride.
(k)no(w). discussion of how. my movement cracks
within dust swept moments of pushed aside.
memories. cannot. console – or support.
desiring. figuration. transport.
