to hurt

this is the surface

where i lay my yarn,

is my workstation

woe, wonder i


limp out over sea burnt

wood, barren splintered before

sleep, before light dies after

night swells and the smoke

from a snuffed dream

is the stuff that

stings you awake.


yet you do not

stir. powdered, dressed

to our memory you

wilt and we slump and you

lay.
