thank you for the effort /
and comforting sparks /
from bone on bone /
the city’s blinking is dazzling at night /
sharp electric jabs emphasize the matter /
of all that unfolds below /
from crease to crevice /
where stars are visible /
and darkness, a place unto its own /
like inserting an arm into a long, empty paper bag /
the dirt keeps red after the sun ends /
humming with distant exploit /
Tantalus burying himself /
in the rich soil /
echoing with a mouth /
full of sod /
the final product as /
distant as a satellite
