depth,
from the roof of the universe
to the core of the sun
where a compass pricks,
i
can feel
the smallness of my being;
the unnumbered stars
are the collection
of my ignorance
that i still cradle to my breast
when abortion was obvious.
i am an armature
with wires of wrong thickness,
wound up in plaster bandages,
discarded
[pick out the odd one]
axe
for ice rocks:
climb up
to the aristocrats of knowledge
for it is the only way
to feel a mountain under your feet
