I was once somebody's someone
nak’dly perch’d on the shore
of a cold bathtub,
heart running wild ..
shifting like a small animal
with breaths
coiled
between syllables
and ( I ) it's stolen prey
reaching for an identity,
a calm violence warms my
throat
starv’d, my fingertips stutter
my skin
…blurr'd braille,
Howling her howls
