Array and Gouge

array and gouge

amass a fortune of limbs
of sweat and earth and fire
speeding away from each other
hold off the statue, the eyes are not bleeding
hands are the other lovers'
the meat that we've eaten
all discolor and knot
this very, very moment
upside and distraught
consolidated emotional being
the presence of frailty
in the eyes of the path
of an oncoming glacier
swinging by the ankles
once jesus to your christ
palace is flaccid and no one was fleeing
i stand like a man
but am only the snail
fingers cut long by trade
