Cloudsthroat

the sound of the word

throat

reaches my ears, plays my body

as if I just discovered

a new species of bird

named for its bulging belly

and the column of song arising from it

 

throat

breaks in my membrane

shatters my imperceptible

ambivalence to the present

 

throat

throat

unleashes me
