EXCERPT 

​

making brief incredible shapes

 

our hands

 

 

not keeping time keeping alternately

 

the oscilloscope pressed to the roof

 

of our mouths

 

their pink apprehensions

 

unmaking us making us

 

so possible I believe our lingering

 

here over and over

 

rubbing against somehow

 

what cold and sugarless happens
