Gabby, your figure is
pregnant
Now let me nurse you
To natural birth
Arise
in the seat of our beings
A
rise
From
the zone
Today, the wound resigned
It needs time
To recover, she said
She will be back, she said
To serve again
I.
The speaker fighting his self
Cries
The party
They they all cry
They are all moved
We after following the reports
So long as we all
follow have followed the reports
are also moved
As the friend of the
holder
Of the wound
Notes the reader speaking nodding
Reading the note how
As another
She
cannot make its letters
Sound fully
Still
Claps not what she deserved
Not even her
Still claps yet
What of the advantage?
Still so long remaining
Still
Retirement
Or suspension—is one
Not the other
Anymore
Now
What of the advantage
Today afterwards?
What of the state
Of the wound’s
permanence?
II.
Who cares
For it
No one wonders
It is
Cared for
All is based on
That they
We suppose
III. (Zone B)
And for those caring
of
For the caring
Care, advantage
In the works
Of the wound
Unlike its maker
Her husband knows
Intimately in
His decision
To bend
To her
Slurs
Graciously
Famously
We claim him
In stars we shroud him
His blood is more than
Holy, proven so not
only
Now, but before
Too
To us
We claim him
He is ours as we claim
Her for ourselves
So she is ours
As she claimed us
For her self
For her advantage
For her wound
Claimed her
For us
For everyone
For us all as well
As well as us
As did we
We did today
Doubting a return
Like today’s
After the claiming
By all
Stood her
It thinking limiting her
For her he thinks crying
Sincerely at that
A moment them all
Speaking to
But also for the household
Arizona
Ohio
Think of everything
The state of
The union here today
The lack
Forming it
Lending itself
Its damage to confront
The affront done
To us all by it
All

M, sounds good. I'm shooting P an email
now.
Nice to hear about A stopping by. I was,
to be honest, very excited to tell him the tentatively good news
when I saw him at the cafe yesterday.
Talked to J. He had no particular
knowledge regarding S's accommodations, but doubted that the foundation would
provide a work visa by merit of my potential grant. S is more comfortable
playing it loose than I am, though, so if I do receive the F, well be going and
working her public life out on the cuff. A’s immigration website is friendlier
than I expected. Here's hoping a college degree and staff experience at a
library qualify a "skilled worker."
Thanks again,
C
Gabby,
Are you able to ask
for help
When you want it
Or do you have to
motion,
Trusting an understanding?
How was the reading of
you letter arranged
And how written?
I ask because it seems
so
Important to the
consensus built.
Surely you recognize
Its rarity.
You broke an era
By merit of your being
broken
Brought the aisles to
their feet
For
nothing
A contribution
To the war on drugs
From Mexican
Cartels not ours
From Mexico
That’s all
The bald men
Led to.
The one that loves you
The other that
Adorned you
With your perfect lack
Of skills making
Room for grace and
Leaving the star
Of your seat
Nothing to talk about
they both
Led to
Nothing
While your seat
Remains something
To us all
When it is still important
To me at least
And I know your record
I knows its good
But not great and that
The next will be worse
Almost assuredly
The next will be
Worse
Than you and you
Didn’t even
Go out
Well
Enough
For today
V. Zone I
Home
In her body
She feels it
Eating
She feels it
It is nothing
Eating something
Making it out of nothing
As she is used to
Tho nothing
Is past
It is in her
It is eating her
As she and we
Are eating it in her
Wanting her to
Reenter it
For us but
With it
