how you can tell if you are not already dead

the clanky fish repel platonic force of numbness amid decibels
confused with sacramodal periwind
.

unless pertinent silence over-
trusts what -- baked
on shore . . .

.

this damage from the instant heart rebuilt, recaptured, stalled . . .

.

words readily defined claim gardens to resist

.

drawn ashore and dwindled by the next-tier fire

.

still fortified melodically

.

these sprigs of an effeminate surprise
