Dear Poetry, Post-Sorry

Dear Poetry,

remember sweetness,


first sound strum in the womb where dark you world
and water carried across, warmth the held spark
inside being, inside a no break from other culling
song less dense abyss


remember opening,

skinned nerve jump a field of no remorse
outside containers of trapped times spun tales
lipped start thrum a trap till sprung you
slip past rooted noun

remember spurati,

chanted whirl to discern where you capture
to suffer your choice you draw close a kiss
simply we worded a bride of drift
wash foam dusty lens

remember a-joining,

slick wet of edge jointed when you enter to meet another
a retelling you forge slow plant of gross
intent, hunger jawed this grasp till netted a duality
sick shape swollen light

remember rupture,

life leaking time's rift to constellate
matched patterns in every story familiar
come again, come again, come along here
we alway be infinite

not congruent, your name brushed aside
broken ash consumed a biting



always,

M
