body like my body
room-narrowing, world-
narrowing body
lose it down the ravine
my head, lose my footing
narrow bed, on our backs, backs
of hands, knuckles
peaks cotton-covered, palms
cupped towards the coarse
nothing yet nothing
like this, uphill mud hill
lose my footing, the stunned
lead weight of me
feeling toward the mud
the suction, nothing—
in the narrowing her
parents’ room a wall away
slips from our brains
body like my body
body unlike my body—
