fingers like carving knives
-intricate cuts-
whittling at flesh, nicking bones
headspins in chaos
the pitches of birds in scream
the scratch of leaves set in wind
sundials halt, shadow lengths suspend
-their ideal-the ideal-
open space for silence
-static silence-
pulmonary algae garden blooms
-numb-
reservations of resuscitations
-the dead breathe-
whirligig limbs spin spinal fluid stream
crashing skull, crushing steel
E.A. O'Connell
