UNFORGIVABLE ABSOLUTE

But we're living, the great released   occasionally
unburied, isolated autocracies   insects bowing

   in rows
somewhere the first dark erased by a candle   a brain scan

resurrected with millipedes   the bone isn't a balloon
an architecture for flesh, the day suddenly warmer   I can in fact

   let go
now   Born unto hands, Surrounded-by-Kin said   an absence of

nudity   your dirt, your disorder, your jet-trails   broad minimalism
of the naked back   the body swaying under   signification stripped

   to swamp-wood--
fingernails, pores   tire tracks; lightning   the cost of things; kissing
