Lousy with unfuckedness, I dream

each  night  I  count  ghostlets  of  how  my  body  was

wanted  /  behind with deadheading  /  rose hips have

come  /  behind with actions that count only  /  when

the  timing  is  right  /  I  took out  a contract  /  it was

imprudent  in  value  /  behind  with  asepsis  /  hello

microbes  of  my  body  /  we   sleep  together  /  hello

cats  /  I  make  my  bed  daily  /  of the three types of

hair on the sheets  /  only one is human  /  I count the

bedrooms  /  I never had sex in  /  but there were cars

 /   wild    woods   /   blackfly    has    got   to   all   the

nasturtiums  /  you cannot dig  up  a grapevine  /  and

expect shelter to come  /  I am touched by  your letter

/  writes  a  friend  /   you  prevaricate  desire   /   says

message  /  all  this  fucking  / with  no  hands  on  me
