In the privacy of your attention I piss 
silence. 
               Admire my painstaken 
alignment of gems. How simple. 

​

How sexy. How much 
would that cost? I’d like your pulse
in my watch. I said listen 
when I pray to you. Synth-heavy 

​

obsessional, proceed. With a needle, prick 
my capsule eye. Pinch, ooze. Fluish, 
inkish. I have time. Gaping 
socket. Study it.

​

What do you do when you’re alone? 
                Talk to you. Take vows
to never write this poem again.

​

Deracinated nerves twitch 
on the tile. You’re stepping on me! 
The law of your psychic 
approach. Please—

​

be all ways away. Perishable.

​

On the beach, a whale, 
crowds gathered like the moon fell.
