of fat and electricity.

to fall from a ledge.

in order to cry for the raped.

open, then slowly unfolded,

am covered with the bark
of a tree. My fingers appear
weighted, or ballooned.

a shopping cart. I gesture with
hands and face, and you appreciate

because a scientist or lawyer
may sustain bruises.

leaves my body as you enter.
