I know there is a song for all of this, something hard and wild, black as night, and rising.

Like an old shoe molded to only one foot, I do have a thick hide that’s held up through years of nettling by tongues of other poets.

The road unwraps like scissors slicing down a strip of ribbon to make it curl.

A knee of stars presses down on my throat.
