{tea time is free time is time for a harvest} por Nicole Fraticelli

hollow shoes horned atlas pickled herring jokes exist
as we are
servants of geography
and travel documentaries

how to structure a collapse
with only threads and bare knuckles

while aches turn to
scrambling in the dark for thin leaves/ striped bark

this cultured pain
beneath a pending grimace
under the left knee between throat and gizzard

(it sits still with infusions
it beckons sedation)
