Sometimes the only way
to pronounce ‘interrupt’ is
to pinch the hollow inside
its middle.
Whenever I sign on
top of my lungs
it gets a zero.
The wrinkled throat fails
to catch up with water
every time the clinging words say yes.
We need some desperate imagination to
scrape the best
out of a broken egg yolk’s
medicine bottled drawl.
Till then let us drop our sawdust folded
breaths in
the fist drawers
tick-marked for archived gravity.
Hush, thick black lines taste the time that falls on your cells.
