Description
i want to cut the men out from underneath my skinmy body bucks and shakes
another place
pulls at the cords embedded in me
i am not of here
your language is not my language
and the way you move your hands is strange to me
your people peer at me
and their eyes show me to be transparent
my form careens and wavers in alternation
i cannot record or observe myself
the air here shrouds me in plagues and sensitivities
my body is a battleground
i dreamed that i vomited out of my nose
and the space behind my right eyebrow collapsed
if i am only a shell for regurgitations of my surroundings
where does my image exist in full detail?
where did i hear this?
who do i hear now?

the uniqueness of such diction and the first stanza had me pulled in, for certain.
lovely, lovely, lovely.

I'm always interested in hearing the poet read his/her own work.
