Kerri Shying R # 375 - TRACT

TRACT

I’m listening to you

rumbling at the wrong time

portentous as thunderclap

 a 9-month-gravid ore  rolling

in her sleep   you describe the shape

the volume   me  in the recommended

position  seated bolt upright

a teacup-salad spinach leaves

8 cubes of feta  vinegar 

the gluten–free bread one vegan burger

I am the machine that works

in reverse   all growl  upon receipt

I sit   the feel of you

life’s work  in the craw

tie me

to the world  to gravity  

stick me to the ground

heart burn
