wounds in us
mostly in sirens and screeches
no insulation
i just float in my favourite forgiveness
and learn Italian easily
French badly
accent building wire fences
round syllables
vowels
nouns
and
clauses
I can't tell one
from the other
and nothing unravels
something is sewn up in you
release your dead
make some room for me
