untitled

You are
all creatures I do
not recognize,
and still I climb,
hands tied, up
a worn rope
to gaze inside a gut.

All I see
is aflame.
I have written
down my name
many times, each
memory is more
scrambled
and strange to me.

So we take
photographs of mirrors
and move in reverse.
Someone here is
powerless precisely
because we do not believe.

This is how it goes.
A god dies
every day.
I would dream
another but
I could not cause it
to behave.

I am
only a will,
a network I can't
create. An inactive
appetite
has brought me here
weakly, I make no
appointments or promises.

A voice inhabits us.
