here is my resting state here is me folding
one hand across the other
I am strangling
the wrist it is a thin bird’s neck try to
drop the shoulders from up around
these ears wringing out the rubber
if
tension had a bourse how
rich hell
I’d out-Trump the Donald with all this pulling
tight negotiating with my own breaths to
enter to leave the gates my own Alcatraz
I can see the shoreline from here I imagine
the long cold swim me sinking like a stone
just wonderful - oh, the wrist and the bird's neck, and the view from Alcatraz, and the sinking!
