not a pretty picture. not a good. not a bad. picture. but an argument.

the dense blanket



i sleep with masahisa fukase, the great sleep
lay the density of my body like a blanket over him
in this way his raven heart is stilled
to know he is not alone
i lay beside him, on him, over him
my female wound sealed off, my human wound gaping
my small black bird soul as isolated
as any word, continent
or moan.
