Unmaking

-for Judith

For what we are instruments broken
Furled flags make believe of nations
Other-worldly in your eyes speech

Mourns visibility concatenates causes
Of what wouldn’t arrive waves of im
migration grain altering this unsanc

tioned/unscansioned world all we
Hoped to be futures past vitality in-
dwelling plosives portend peaceful

Ends missiles in reverse like escha
tology ruins the nail the hammer truth
Is not an option for the subject made

Animal who is in pain is an exigency of
Signs inferiority not pointing to any
thing only what can not be the case

Deafens plenitudes occupies our ears
Like some world the other dreamt
Surpassing the body before it was I.
