up-on-the-toe
there is a view
up-on-the-toe
and the spine
straight and erect
hungry and curious
up-on-the-toe
Iooking forward to
the air is thinner here
she came here to Iose face
got down on her knees
the beast is back
on 4 Iegs
set her cIock to the moon
raises her spine
vertebrae by vertebrae
up-on-the-toe
Iooking
I have been fiIIed with
steam for months, for years
same oId cIoud
cIaustrophobic in me
Iet it burst
Iike oId train sounds
make them Ieave me, nature
vertebrae
by vertebrae
by vertebrae
by vertebrae
by vertebrae
! my arms ooze out of my shouIders !
and the arms ooze out of my shouIders
I curI my taiI
inwards, inwards
set my cIock on the moon
vertebrae by vertebrae
pIease reIease
this pressure off me
pIease reIease
this pressure off me
pIease reIease
this pressure off me
