performative

or

the place where words

 

turn over

break apart

take off

bear down on each other

cliff it over

fail

trip up

embolden

have it out

make sacred

get on with

away with you

see right through

go over

take the tongue and run

 

those aching on

of the gone

lost with us

yet

and yet

 

mistake

misspell

miscegenate

 

and you can trust

the pawprints all over

 

a bird indoors

 

stand unfold

take up the day

such a song of them

 

struggle to stumble

to fit

 

once reassuring

now they face about

spew forth

cracked words

and of the swerve

sly surreptitious

haunch high

poised

point west

run widdershins

 

bend to my will

 

arrest

ring out

echo still

 

hollow

 

time has it over

and far from what is

 

you’ll not call them back

 

this is the place

you’re here

all together

I think you know

what I mean
