There’s this cathedral in my head
…
In anger, as in desire, it was
everything, that cathedral. As if my body
itself cathedral.

I conduct my body
with a cathedral’s steadiness, I
try to.

I cathedral. In desire. In anger.

Light enters a cathedral the way persuasion fills a body.
Light enters a cathedral, the way persuasion fills a body.

Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other.
It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words.
My language trembles with desire.
