dynamite when prophesy blows my dust

*

not your ordinary eclipse the anvil of remembrance

*

dark matter unmaking our daily bread

*

pounding on the echo chamber door my no to your yes

*

head smashed arguing orange until green

*

what were you saying these tentacles in me

*

going going gone the black of pitch

*

into June's hymn I recast your death

*

unsheathing daggers your bones expose the lie

*

road to home peeling skin in the graveyard

*

my other name the redwood hums a processional

*

one with Polaris and yet the amygdala kicks

*

electric rainbow in the thick of the body

*

divisible by infinity all that could have been

*

where your story ends I combust into a rose

*Published in my first e-chapbook: says the rose (Yavanika Press 2019)
