dwell
touched by
forefire
to smooth muscle in
under airborne with
nonplus limb toxic.
my generation,
wall flyblown
rusting door leeward
trust unlexiconlike
soon your eyes won't
believe your ears,
before the bright
and flat jaundice
of a shadow confirming
the right upper
limb of an animal
inconsequential yet just,
under the civic anvil
and mallow hammerhead
— the underplex
swooning, unforgiving
of a disremembered tort.
