everything

reattach this
satchel of nerves
to hope-thing,
to wing-trope,
to any one of the
rodent-moments
that multiply
in the delicious
dark distance.

funny how
you claim me,
assuage me,
position me
just so,
giving me
some other
name.

indefensible,
i lay skin
of good feeling
over a rock,
whispering
absurdities,
taking stock
of the narrative,
attempting
to pick the lock
of your—
everything.

everything!
know what it is?

you pass
a cool body
of water,
wary
of your
wavering
reflection.

but there it is.
in the water.
your enormity.
your weightless
charm, your careless
felicity. you!
everything!
