Bound
Tasked with meta-
morphosis
bound up
at the boney
end
of orbit.
Loop
Needle round your own
white wound
armless &
looping
lid sewn blind
with thread.
Spiny
There’s a gap between your eye
and throat where the word with-
drawn climbs over itself in
spiny calcification.
Tangle
Take room of cranium,
tin—
give
hole to
other.
Turn
Growth
of your hair,
rotation
of eye,
ear—Is it
waiting?
