AFRICA

you once described my penis phonetically as imph
which admittedly is a visually small word/a water fairy
of a word. we go lie in the room where the moon is.
our shadows sit on the wall. In the living room
is the analogue wall clock/altho the time is visible digitally
on the TV receiver/the wall clock’s metronomic ticking
tempers the silence I normally live in
there my dog dreams loudly
making most ppl and even neighbours
concerned I imagine/she’s an excited zebra.
if you visit me you visit africa.
my dog is africa/visiting you in her sleep
if you visit me. you sleep and wake still
attached like lichen/like genetic coding
of all the things mutating
my entire left side
