after Marie Howe in the wordless beginning iguana & myrrh magma & reef ghost moth & the cordyceps tickling its nerves & cedar & archipelago & anemone dodo bird & cardinal waiting for its red ocean salt & crude oil now black muck now most naïve fumbling plankton every egg clutched in the copycat soft of me unwomaned unraced unsexed as the ecstatic prokaryote that would rage my uncle’s blood or the bacterium that will widow your eldest daughter’s eldest son my uncle, her son our mammoth sun & her uncountable siblings & dust mite & peat apatosaurus & nile river & maple green & nude & chill-blushed & yeasty keratined bug-gutted i & you spleen & femur seven-year refreshed seven-year shedding & taking & being this dust & my children & your children & their children & the children of the black bears & gladiolus & pink florida grapefruit here not allied but the same perpetual breath held fast to each other as each other’s own skin cold-dormant & rotting & birthing & being born in the olympus of the smallest possible once before once |
