iii.
A turn could be sculptural, personal, or
the dull necessity of direction
Those who saw me as I knew myself
should have known better
But those fields of knowledge can always
be safely
placed in the past
and redundant to the literal
A brief rain and the weather looks back
on itself
I want to be a body, and want to have
a planed surface
on which to recline
I want to bend at the waist and feature
my spine as a table
The right angles I know
my feet as my own
immersed, not afloat
