WINNOWING

Look—look! Can you really
see that? The passion
that ordinarily 
burnt 

hot-
ly in that heart—now lately 

snuffed
and swallowed 
by tougher clothes; whose 

collective stomach 
fits hard
and stiff 
and small—and slick

as an—
avocado pit. Can you actually?

Can you really
really 
really really 
see that

there's—really
just so much

poetry stuffed 
and locked 
in each our bodies—that
it truly seems

like a
moot point—
to write any down.
