I\u2019m contemplating the height of your window<\/p>\n

and the thickness of the skin on the inside wall of<\/p>\n

your thumb.<\/p>\n

I cannot quite place the growth of your smile<\/p>\n

as it expands over rocky valleys and causes<\/p>\n

fossils to be reborn.<\/p>\n

I am swimming in a pool of jelly and sand that\u2019s<\/p>\n

burning my eyes yet I am known to only that.<\/p>\n

In lack of consideration you have begun to swallow birds<\/p>\n

whole and I can see the blood from your throat as the beaks<\/p>\n

scrape down<\/p>\n

the wallpaper of your esophagus.<\/p>\n

While tender feet compress thunder and cracks in the road<\/p>\n

I am forced to suppress a pipe of condensation inside my upper lip<\/p>\n

and wait until the rivers have eaten themselves dry.<\/p>\n

I am walking with a pair of binoculars around my neck<\/p>\n

and yet the only depth I am able to see is in the center of your cupped hands<\/p>\n

holding a glass crab,<\/p>\n

fresh from the mindless sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
