evaporative forces and their
inverses brawl with
good nature—sitting idly
watching my own
humidity, sloughed and bunched
back furtively like clumps of wool.
blessing self for loving
shears—when my ears were
clipped, the dryness of the air
ate closer towards my eyes.
my muteness divulged by the rain,
roaring down through
capillaries hung limp from
the woolen clouds. not all
visual constructions are waterproof.
the channels quicken narrow, still.
