Emergency for

oh what the ask is

when I jab my little brave

at the body ocean-shored

to anticipate the particulars

to see a bird so clear in the light

sundress, sundress,

you are so far away

and flood all the little waters

who won’t hold me back

dismightying fright—life

light blue molecular

blue in a body,

body sized

what to trust under an

atmosphere when animal,

even you don’t know

 where to touch me
