The Geography of the Body

the work of some sly delirium
or the force of fantasy over
drumming bodies?

i can’t quite digest the
innocuous morning, wide-eyed
to my own small hands

and more than an invention
of image, you looking up
unhinged

recreating bodies in space to
negotiate the real of their
surfaces

The player will show in this paragraph
