THE THREAD | Location

Location

A scalpel to open the skin of should 
and carve out the oughts from the are.

Drops of ointment to separate 
the oil of if only from the water of what is.

Aperture and crystalline to alter your vision
until the blurred night sky fine-points into place.

The stars appear as infinite possibilities
yet are each only moment and light and heat.

Emerging from myriad imagined lives,
look, this one of skin bone heartbeat breath you.

The burden is light 
and heat.
