Sext
I have known you as an opening
of curtains as a light blurts through
the sky. But this is afternoon
and afternoon is not the time
to hunt you with the hot globe
of a human eye. So I fluster
like a crooked broom in rounds
within the living room, and try
to lift an ear to you. I try.
I cut myself into a cave for you.
To be a trilling blindness
in the infinite vibration
of your murmuring July,
I cut myself into a cave for you.
