INEXTRICABLE

INEXTRICABLE

door eaters, we

mumble splintered

curses, prayers,

haunted by years

yet to enter.

ASIDE

ASIDE

rubiconical, decided.

you make your mouth

into the door you slip

out through.

a maze you 'forget'

to bring the twine

of your eyes into.

'stead your fingers

seek the limits of that

enclosed path.

you left the end already,

you left your shoes and

feet, but your tongue and

fingertips will never cease.

UNTOWARD

UNTOWARD

drawn out,

in

absence, or sense,

ein Weg,

a foregoing, the

Frolic echoing in

its menacing,

celebratory

way—we slip

out the side door,

must always

choose

to return some

other way.
