symmetries
the snake imagined
like that deer driving
dark sets you on edge
what if just in case
that makes
you wonder
does that darkness have eyes?
mine of yours
my making of it
i don’t actually know
but i guess and act
according it
i do this
poised to confirm
evidence is easy to make
i want to tell you
about this kind
that makes itself
deersnaking
confirmation of consistency not truth
but still waiting waiting waiting
relief in promise delivered
not affording fate
listen, don’t read
pay mind to your nature squirreling
"there’s no such thing as monsters!"
locking eyes
close & quivering
trust me on something
you know how you can see?
it!
written on my face
you learn
the trace of my secrets
too wide to name
a catch 22
to reject is to affirm
its place in the premise
you know we knew
that truth in the womb
lighten your spirit
with assurances too
that invariant freedom
makes room for breaking
and breaking makes two
