he gave up his one truebody to see the ocean
he stood on feathery toes on the pumiced shoal
he said, “my name is Jason, I am dilated pupils,
I am numbness of the extremities.
my name is blank, my biceps are retracting.
I am twenty-three years old.”
the first hit was in habit,
his mother taken in red light
flattened lacewings around the apartment
the second was in series,
thin blood floating in his veins
in a hospital room they drank charcoal,
the cuttings clinging to his neck and shoulders
in his beloved’s bedroom the curtain came crashing
in her closet, in her clothes, he came crawling
he fed the dog. he watered the plants.
he mouthed the words, “i’ll do anything for you.”
he said, “I am a young man open to experiences.
I like the feel of mud between my toes
and lace against my genitals.
I smoke cigarettes and don’t need to take
medicine.
I am twenty-three years old.”
