trace runes under the eyelids to lure sleep
step into a room where common sense is cancelled
pseudo intellectuals speaking through the tailbone

the cold tide ruptures and is reborn again
footfalls sink into the sand don’t wake the sea she says
subconscious telemetry: the archival of bodily sensations
