The Dispossessions
$10

 

You are a vessel

What kind of vessel

A sacrificial vessel

That who may maim

 

But once heaved

 

The idols are broke

 

Invites rather, uh, Awkward questions
Clutching at the first thingLickety uh Do we have no other words to use?
Seeds wreaking violence
A negative dialogue between seeds
Words do not harm each other
Looking for words [that] don’t harm each other
Grammar as window,
Words as voyeurs
A word [that] does not give
Onto anything else
Voyeurism of one word giving onto another
No accumulation?
This horror will not bear my words
The words are mute

And
Wait, is it
Loud in here because

because This silence is very loud
