throat [erasure]

I open, I want

to issue from my mouth

like a scent

memory to a nostril

I think, I build

silent mountains from air;

[draw] water from oceans

of [cellophane]

[facsimile]

I coat my throat

with honey, aching

with gravel and hurt

babbling [clay] proxy

homonculous:

[which language do you speak?

[do you speak to me]

rest, rest

[I shed, I cloud

[over gray overcast

[fishing for affection,

[frothing and aware]
