In the night
stretch as darkness
uncoagulates
flows unwhole
black inchoate flesh of time
clotted hours
cool against yearning
embrace

ink-salted truths
etch
runnelled course
as life passes again and before
unseen

filigrees of undertaken
overlay
agony’s pulse
as life passes again and before
unknown

Clutch the raw-livered edge of minutiae
as boundaries reveal
their fluidities

hold tight to the only plan you’ve
made
