I am


I am a clot of gauze
I stem the blow.

I am a gift. In your pocket,

Grit
And peeled skin. Two used condoms
Tied at the ends
Like fish.
    (You stop them breathing--
                  quiet voices among the
big hitters - - - )

    please don't be frightened but oh my I just want to squeeze you! this was so incredible and sharp, like barbed wire snagging on skin. it was so refreshing, evey time I read from you, it's just really fucking lovely because I've missed it so much.

    I love that.
    This is really great, I know I've probably said this a few times, but I'm very glad that you're writing again.
