82

tell me the story of your skinny ribs.
they tunnel through me for hours at a time,
and i swear i can see stars each time,
sprayed and scattered across a sheltered black sky.

then these stars, they remind me of how you are everywhere.
inside me, all around me,
all filled in this room,
all over these walls.

then when i dream of you, i'm sedated. i can’t tell a fantasy from authenticity
it makes me wonder where i am,

how did i get here?

and

have i reached the top of the mountain?
