as a diagonal glance makes what disuse and scurf want dearly
what disembodied and ablush makes a living removing eyes
for research
for labels and petrology
and proposals to wiretap, pummel and lace
to cherish like delegated, emitted
a body still together, still an “it” and “one” and
you me them her why or when
an exhalation
means precision
this gamble of asperse and blush
