noon skipping

︎ JULY 8, 2022


in your hands of countless rehearsed miracles

waiting for permission

like a beat

or a whistle



sound is constant

and we just wait for the measure like a rope

given to the concrete

and always late



and count again to invert my hand from its place

as the memory of sound

moves

into basic servitude

then chaotic soul
