to re-enter the world: I first began
a small, fixed dot, still see
that old myself, a dark-blue thumbtack
pushed into the scene,
a hard little head protruding
from the pointillist’s buzz and bloom.”

and my teeth melt but the greenery hisses on.

and the green slips out like a bracelet.

and chop it down if I turned inside out for an hour?”
