“You are always
in the beginning
of some prophecy
that you will not believe
to save your life.
You travel in cities
that travel in you,
lost in the ache
of knowing none.”

I am the measure of the house.
I sleep with my grainy eyes
plucking the shadows from the room.”

“blind men in corn, blind men in steel,
reason by their lights that our tongues
are free, our tongues will redeem us.
Speech is the fact, and the fact is true.
What is moves, and what is moving is.
We cling to these contradictions.
We know we will become our contradictions,
our complex body's own desire.”
