No Motion

Do not look at the eclipse.
I am badly hurt. I will not call the
hangman to complete the job.

What not to eat your words.
Like radiation they enter the bones.
The placenta twists. A dream dies.

Claustrophobia. I will
not break the walls. Do you know bricks
ripen in the furnace. I will burn the door.
