dear tremolo,
(1)
a portal a chest held together by multifarious hands
an opera an overtone the
space between here and hear
I have always dreamed of you through you
this is the place where I can locate sensual data
each body each satchel
______________________________
the consumptional difference between what is always tilling me
and the most thorough BEAST-LEDGER
honey poured over peanuts memory as
the basin of each proclamation
FETALITIES FATALITIES
_______________________________________
what having sex with the matter can do to the
manifestation of tactility as a practice
a break in the pre that so induces the future to
how I felt like I had been sold
and thereby could not confiscate or name
since then this daily ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: as an activism
______________________________________________
(2)
renegade nun
acetone monk
neoteric hermitage
I write to this space because I am hungry and
you are here
________________________________________________
amorphous tones sitting in a warm
gathering of water under the most pungent icy sky
a story
that reverses its internal decibels as it describes
_________________________________________________
I want to take you
peel your skins to caress the thicker
shivering
where you and I no longer maintain separate identities
but are exact
______________________________________
(3)
an embodiable culture spoken as omnipotence
as decadence
the cultivation of imagination’s genitalia
________________________________________
this the variant pronoun
we begin no differently than any original
an incendiary couch
through a window
like frida kahlo's last minute jolt as her body
stinging and her hair ablaze and the cut in her lips
________________________________________________
not unlike the feeling of the color of silver
not unlike the feeling of the color
