no human ever leaves. the wind is too taken or thick. to
break away.
mouths and opened.
attempts, or undulations.we share. fits or fists. we share and then. the day
has a number. or is long.no room to hide. pressed

suppress, or
subdue. separate.and your mother hollers to you. and you are watching television. and she is looking for
one shoe. and it is all that she needs.no human ever leaves.
