blur sores that breed and crawl around on one's chest 

cracks and stains in a pattern 

of geometric impossibilities the ashes and the razors that 

tore one's hallucinations 

to shreds the clatter and the clamour melliflous as the 

nightingales' song 

oh where have I been where have I bled 

lungs filled with sulphur thrown open the doors that led to 

emptiness burned into 

the retina an image of the gossamer textiles that separated 

two bodies fantasies 

of sleep ricochets within a parralellogram 

oh where have I been where have I bled 

the art of contradiction 

of contraction of contortion of contusion of confusion of  

conclusion
