in chromatic figuration, colors popping and sizzling
at my forsaken touch. i name you thrice &

you deny me thrice. light fogs between my lips
like something renounced.

i tremble through pinhole camera, hungry eyes
brushing the face of a black hole God.

i dream of blindness & naked shadow hanging
over grass like a noose. you are haloed in loss

& milky corona. we are five seconds from totality.
5. 4. 3. 2. boned pitiless atoms pared from

raw breath skipping in your lungs. a bitter please.
heaven and earth made 1.
