before the touch of lips before the raising of glasses before the birth of consciousness inside white pods bodies spasm to life at the push of a button
geography remembers: the paths and scars of razor winds
another mouth of many stitched to the ribs whispers of: daggers in the dark
cold glow of grey a menagerie of extinguished suns kept in cages
a sliver of winter lives on in grey reflections of liquid and glass
the ritual gaze into the abyss and then: birdsong
the wraiths of night have followed me from bed to light
paradise hides from the watchful eye of the city: carried in a pocket deeper than any void
spring at first light a scene of limbs and bedsheets strewn
