I am folding the house and going on my palm
When the spirit cooled it banters with the light
there is no other meaning of evil
what will the nothingness that is doing handspring
in the space tell us today
folding the sweeped garden such as the dusky taffeta
I swooped on the poverty
I must write in italics that how many seals I broke
in order to touch my fallen eagerness the peacock in the mirror. I. woman
with three legs. looking to sky. long necked
The hump time that is abducted the dew drop
(I looked for this animalistic image so much)
the insects became as tall as my height stretching faults
are synonymous with a breakage of a mountain
suddenly finding life of a lover oh
people must be protected from their childhood when making love
So that, I have listened the breathing of the night
just like a ladybug
there! away where living promises nothing
Now I am swimming within a giant wedding ring
