repo

circles through

                the point of

second skin

            on grass

you crawled           and drank



through dreams within



a squall              skidding



circles on the lawn,



there — years of papers,



mantels, there —



rising falling shattered awl, 



                dutiful boy
               
               
               
circles tracing on the trunk



                knows why the 
              
              
              
arms are ripping



back,           honeyed lips 



           against the shield
           
           
           
sinks the burn into the skin



   held down
   
   
   
no darling,     where?



tracing steps and tracking mud
            
            
            
all our bodies are a-trickle



between the blanket's all the years



snoring all the while

                         all your wet dreams

snow stamps down my neck

                            stole the car

&ripping back the curtain's

                              there,

light is scrawling on my leg

                                    there

but your night goes



                 on
             and   
          on
      and
