X
Fit your limbs
into the jagged passage
of this rend and embed
your act with your wish.
Put them to bed.
In this dim space
shaped by what is torn.
Tear the wound
out of your throat
with your fist
and wear its scab
like apatch, a badge,
the brittle, flapping
scrap of a word
that betrays your act
with your wish.
