Linguistics

Where everything passes through

A hysterical smile

An accursed, sinister burn

In constant interaction

With the dramatic labor

Of the thing described

Emerging

Out of the mastery

Of presence

The narrative, as it tends to

Convulses

To the sense of life

Exhibits

All you are incapable

Striking upon language

Tearing as the body does

Taking on volume

The cavalry tongue

Rebelliously interprets

Reluctant to correspond

Bears within itself

Cold war fictions.
