Place a large dam by the wellsprings of the pain gather with it like water watch over it so it doesn't disperse for it is your life. - Yona Wallach

and that's not what'
ll satisfy
my hunger no
that's not
what
'll ease
my mind
no
that's not it.

The hypnotist was here
she spoke of the body tired from all the years
serving and doing things for us
and I went out from the body
and sat on the edge of the bed
looked at it
and climbed up to lick it
stroke it
take care of it.

They draw from each other life and brain
remain like burnt out
eyeholes long and empty
surrounded by lines markings contours
of what was once life
