Self-Portrait as Used Condom Riding the Wonder Wheel
little
i’m story
of light and cleavage
in the gutter
a symmetry of fractures
radial Brooklyn
its minerals and bubblegum tar
its sidewalk a rub of bellies and salt
its sidewalk a trust of grit and glamor
a friend
a beast, capitalism
colorless lie of dead habit
a radial i am from
proteins of light disrapture
rot and implacable rust
interregnum salts
claw and ghost
a beam of rage
i am the small parts
thumb sparrow a sprout in the hand
no goldenrod no daisy
i am the little wheel
splinter
little matchstick
follicle i got past the cleaving
past the interregnum
the small parts at dawn
glisten in the crackle
half meat half thunder
i am leaf vein
leaf matter
leaf at rest
gill
the separation of wounds matter
the gentle splits
