the raw materials

the raw materials
of our lives are
messy, have
teeth to chew
up logic, a
throat for
petitions,
and the stomach to
stomach the doubt

to swallow or not

to swallow or not
to swallow,
that is the question,
lying in the dark,
sore throat,
cold fully
transferred, data
received,
body encoding

there is nothing

there is nothing
that pulls you closer
to the moment than
when you are leaning
over the toilet bowl
with a splinter
in your throat

we fall into reptile

we fall into reptile
precision
when it comes
to what we say and
what we keep
stranded
in our throats.
i have long
stopped
marking the way
back
to yesterday’s
tomorrow –
but we will
drag it out
until recognition
is just a word
left unsaid
.
