            a chalky sugar

            your teeth munch

            to powder

 

                        my lungs

                        popcorned with covid / coals /

                        dry —              my throat clicks

 

            my throat

            or         the

            clicking

            of wings?

 

                        what breathless

                        insect I’ve become
