Instructions on distance
Clench stomach
so that the ache diffuses through organs
dispersing silent puffs from lungs
Paralyze bottom jaw
succumbing tears to gravity
drip by drip from the broken faucet of a mouth
Press lips to damp tiles
unsympathetically reviving with feigned passion
cells to the beating, organic beings they once were
Twist spine
so silky rubber of vertebrae will
slither into the backbone of our oceanic memories
Fasten palms to hips
spinning in circulars at nightfall
replaced circadian rhythm with your rhythm, my hands for yours
Reach into depths of inner oasis
to crawl to shoreline of yearning pleasure
receiving a sip from the straw of momentary ecstasy
Give flight to feet
so that the need for stationary fixation on recollections
drops mercilessly to the starved demons below
Wedge into partition of the right and left side of brain
stripped of reliance, functioning separately
intentionality of separating your image, un-wholing it…
Throw instructions away
