part one to the new chapbook by me
How the ocean fell upon me once
tapering to a slender point
all that I’d forgotten
I was a channel, suddenly
less virulent
decayed against the blast of
rust or oak
a new ignorance became a new living arrangement
and later, the marriage bed:
inambulatory in feeling
or intolerable
or maybe I was only hungry
or I was in the woods
wanting to be in the water.
