in rhythm       i dream he        is breath-hot       is fire

ffffffffffffin hunger       i leap out       in neon       is knowing       the window

is owl-eyed       i chase him       in sweat-glow       through alleys

ffffffffffffis shattered       a smoke trail       in chordage       i can’t see       in evening

i call out        in rhythm       from doorways       is stagelight       i listen       in violence

fffffffffffffhe crackles       is owl-eyed        is breath-hot       i conjure       in grasping

my bari       is orphaned       i bellow       in neon       he blazes       in violence

ffffffffffffthen quiet       is grasping       then darkness       is orphaned       i touch him

in chordage       my lips burn       in sweat-glow        become him

ffffffffffffin stagelight       is shattered       on all fours       is hunger

is knowing       my body       in evening       is fire
