after reading a poem

i've read you
and yet
all is calm(ing)
with the distant
roar of words
sweetening at the back
of my throat:
too hoarse
to speak
or summon saliva
from underground rivers
that so carefully avoid
veins and such

where eyeballs
lie so that
vaccuous stares
placate onlookers

and i feel
the ferrets
made of moonlight
burrow and finally
blast through
the surface
of my skin like

reversing comets,

and i feel

perfect.
