Seamless

The containers I put my experiences 

in are rotting.  The condensation 

of blood and tears have blurred 

all demarcations and the words 

beginning, middle, and end have 

no meaning.  The artificiality 

of separation has left and the intensity 

of meaning is moving through me

like The Sword of Solomon as the truth 

of lies reveals and reveals and reveals.

I show my wounds to myself 

and say, “I believe.”   Whisper,“So this is how

it feels to wear a seamless robe.”  Bow slightly

at the reflection in the mirror.
