Fold

we were bleeding out millions

of rainbows specks from under our skin

refracting, indigenous light

prism veins, I think we were natives

of each others consciousness, but more likely

we were only transparent glass


fragile impossible structures

why is it that humans in love

are already creased with

"fold here" signs, why is it

that nobody can hold

onto expiration dates

without folding.


twist a coat hanger into

the silhouette of the front door

you used to hide behind

use the coarse wires to

examine inside our lung walls

we'll remove every last sentence

with i's and fold

them into Uish fishhooks
