and in the circling of those limbs
or rather in the dome, my own face:
anger, in the eyes, and mouth.
two limbs, each, forks, gashes, set
cut, nerves – set against
until the face is profile and
then, the back of head
the head turned its back
and numb
two bands of pain at the
neck – bird neck band
necklaces and region (limb) active
next to ear (pacific) between
them a narrow pathway (very, very old) upward, upward, upslope
and backlit
backlighting
day
