opening the throat

December 4, 2011

awoke to a lynching

...
soft articulations:
these textures
curl up
to  the hour
like lovers
like bodies
within bodies--
my skeleton 
softening
my sinew
slips unto the floor:
throat to thighs
thighs to ears
like curving
I am
here
to be folded
into the floor
unto the floor
softening:
one long rope
