Smooth the sheets to two dimensions
unfold the distance
of regret to overwhelm
spill sun across unwanted comfort
of arrival

Dust flies at the turning point
kicked-up reversal
and again

Trace hope in silted settling
gather the lettered hollows
spool scripted filth and need
into you
into the proof of you
reduce identity
dimension
by one

slip between the sheets
parchment
unwritten
withdrawal

tastes of mote
