of the breath irredeemable

trading bone dice

for shadow’s bound & winds to know

I spy/ kaleidoscope
the infinite

I am of the none/ stun abounding








writhing

breath(en) fall

atrophy of meat/

din of the malign bones

raw as carcass kisses of the night

abattoir

subtle as subtle butchery
I-teethed to the steel
as if to/

fallen caress of sky’s erupt

cadaver of
abyss of stitches


I
in/
abattoir

fallen caress of sky’s erupt

as if to
subtle as/ subtle butchery
I-teethed to the steel

abyss of stitches
cadaver of
