At the inception point
the morning’s sentence structure replays
anatomies/autonomies/enmities
a splitting of our legs becomes
punctuation—
the dividing line of silence is carnage spent
At the middle point: half-spoken partings
quiet roots
employing undiagnosed fears
I’m looking for new violences
At the end point I only have my anger
to divide along the diameter
of an orange
I hope the fruit
will forgive the trespass of my cutting line
