Time, tell yourself
tell yourself off
sharp--
snow falling, no sound
that snow deafens it
crystalline paratroopers, never twice the same
but if you were, who would know?
They form the softest blanket
deadly with duration
not so different from us
shining, red orb
looking through it into green needles, piercing
closed veins, we are hanged there together
surrounded by a cheap braided gold border
ends uneven from the glue.
Abraded morals,
portals to agony
I imagined it tenuous
strings pulled to breaking; notes pinched
hope to resonate intact
two hands turning backward, numbers askew
not so different from us
