still

well-thumbed crucifix
conception still

time and glass ribs

chicken-bone over-cooked

things buried and pulled

here begins

everything everything

fervent windbells call

double-helix knot

arcosanti wind distraught

discorporate howl
volition still

liquid H2O solo

shingle blessed and blown
anti-grav roof-free 

mechanic quantum fold

everything everything
ends here

desert home cross-out
no. 18 lovely water

lullaby terrify sing

lilac

horn-rimmed 
glasses

head in 
hand fingers tipped 
in electric green inverted 

90 degrees entirely 
double-jointed

textbook, table

map of the brain 
laid flat

she fingers her 

glasses up her 

bridge toward 
eyebrow-level 
bangs

cheeks

lean deeper 
into psychology

horn-rims slip 
toward gravity caught 
by the tip of her nose

she fingers her 
glasses toward 
eyebrow bangs

lean, slip, tip, finger

rinse, repeat
