GEORGI SELEY
Sealed Garden
Garden -
uncaressed
smothered flame
detongued bell
pockmarked cheek
untethered bushes
moldering weed-mats
stone upon stone
laid and hatched
by the emptiness
Garden -
unnursed breast
worm-furrowed nipples
unharvested pain
weighs heavy
you've endured
now you lay moss
for prowling paws
and proudly with each crunch
of bone grow wilder wishing
to remember nothing
of before
Spaces
I've recognized this day
from the beginning.
The cloud is the same
and
all
the words.
