You have torn your ballet shoe in the sailor-packed room.
The new taste of your mouth is silt-wind and you.

Your corn neck that sang in the night.
Molecules with their hats tipped at life.

I thought about the moon craters and they were flaming-
I fell down to the floor feigning poisoning
my chest filled with white pigment and June-
the wild seals I had glimpsed that swam inside of you.

Your shoe in my teeth - headlines shouting...
