my disputed presence

when it comes to the interrogation
of my hands, there is little still
behind my vacant, searching eyes.

a transient word, curling through
the air of space, silking off my lips
is barely enough to augment this.

my shadow, slave ever to the ground,
responding to the all-consuming light
of your antiseptic, calloused jaw

is a definition in the least, but fares
better still obscured within the
velvet curtain of a broken lamp.
