open split
open
split
open like
a shell
like a shell
with its cream
center so
smooth
i will bury the lightless
inside-bone cavity but i will be told the truth
i will mouthe your image and spit it out like bone
i will crown your brow with brown hide
i will cowl your visage with a broken membrane in my mind
i will do such things
i know not yet what they are
