a shape, a slurred embryo draws its limbs forward to hear & then lets go of my lips once the succulents on the window have names of children. I hear your pulse through your forehead. I hear a swift axe & its speech tussled by wind. Your hair is the only evidence you ran smoldering against the buildings we were looking up at. Usually these senses are reversed beneath a skyline. The hands are held as saltwater spilled on severed gums. Our callous scrapes across my leg—we can’t kiss yet. Whatever had been scraped out from the mouth holds down the bridge. My wine spills, welters the puzzle piece, making the dog’s head impossible to fit on the child’s body mid-flight to the ocean. The movement becomes the subject.           As a priest hanged in a bag.           A watch burned on a stove. ⁂ Patrick Redmond teaches composition and creative writing at CUNY.
