Over undead bodies
dawn fades
Winter Girl inventories white sequences
counting by tongue
She frees the occlusion
releasing soft secrets
from a pubic mist
imprinting orange and umber
on our muscle memory
flooded Nile
the sloth turned up
spiraling out
planting Her business
on the shore of a draw
attracting fisted infants
from Mauritius
faces to the wall
diamond firmament
united
the front expands
the now
cooing Her final breath
