cold air
seeps
into your hollow body
your double opens
what should be eyes
your body
spewed and reformed
blue wire
skeleton
danging above
unknown
anatomy
squirming
through
pinpricks
nerves slicing
through your flesh
like the raised hair
of a wolf
smelling death
sinew peels
from the bone
spiraling through
your sweat-soaked skin
to emerge
and the lick
of blue light
slicing through
your bones
the width of sticks
you stumble on a stone
creekwater slick
and pitch
to the ground
deep blanket of pine fur
