chest / pain
table synaptic band manuscript
down in the hallway / selling baked goods
(mothers and daughters)
now in the aisle selling liquor
you prefer pig’s blood
you are a fly
you leave your shirt open
you like the contours
up the sleeve / down the back
un-
der the shady volumes
2 days without water
you can live
you feed on the milk carton
but the milk is sour
