Remember the clothcover a scythe of r

A sky-colored membrane, green fingerprints, creases

Where.creases ne to be, where an organ of vision can

Begin an education and twine, twine-binding

Keeping itself where it's hurt crossed, tied,

Deep inside a backroom's locker our veiled

Hiding place, lover, a compass inside the water

Of a waterfall, behind our trick pilot's

Tailspin, inside a door between its keyhole

And doorknob, inside the next to the first note in a

Boiling kettle where there's nothing left on the contrary

A drop of milk. individual of those kind of places,

A blinding light and a. sleeptalking sphinx,

It's black sooty vapor condensed on a sheet of glass.

We know exactly what it have feelings like and we don't

Know what it is.
