The black bones nailed to sketches of pine trees frozen in flight
produce blue residue that leaks rivers into inky lesions
and blots on the ghostly space
Split knuckles estimate my worth. I respond: hurling the fractures open
A writer's fluid sleeps into sores like a bending physique, an awareness of creation
curling into completion until –
the snow cradles a cupped hand of softened white organs
pulsating without a body.
