There is a window, where a shimmer means
cold,
where a rattle causes pates to ache, to hollow, to crack.
And
there is a doorway, that splits shins and withers bodies
ripe, dark;
to collect pieces
that spilt out when no one was looking, when no one had eyes, as a meadow,
hasn’t a breeze, to bend it
to life.
I haven’t touched
the waters, only waded into
the sea; and dreamed, and opened, and followed the visions
down.
Deep.
