SERATONIN



Sometimes ill-lit

backlights behind

the eye, what we used

to think was primacy

not of feeling but

thinking is fodder.

We are dehyrdrated

again, the dog wants

in, and light on hand

equals lead in

its stream. We used

to be it, not in

terms of but

terms of breath.






APOSTROPHE SWITCH



Listening to the lights'

fault fold over me,

you were here once

so stop me if I'm saying

it right twice, truth

modulating as I pass

over New Guinea,

Sana'a, or listen

to visible suspensions

of carbon speak freely

and say my rights

are a hagiography, naked

graphemes of my

prerecording all intaglio-

blue bled-out green.
