13.11.–7.12.2025

A corner cracked open
	words leaked out
	
		or something		completed
			destination 	rot
		with desire
I burn the earth that used to be mine
the Idiot,	I dress naked
		to wear words of their own
		drape into a noose
		to hold their head
		under the carving waters
	currents
constantly renewing, earthy as the soil.
