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
