fascinations: thumbnail


opal opening downward

             & then an edge: sudden


moment of air. on

             the cutting board: less


& less. a mouth

             entering the pink, becoming


part of it. see

             the keratin teeth unzip


themselves, a kind

             of smile. see the hand


become a face, one

             thin red tongue


                          spilling out.
