iron rimmed stone
	Luogo é in inferno detto Malebolge
				-- Dante
to arrive
at a      state 
		where        statements bend 
when wildflowers turn 
   			 air  
when wings save one 
from the hate
that builds
as if to say
i am not some trojan
			carrying the generations
				          like carcasses on my back 
or to say
this field yawns
		wide
and
	spirits
		fall
	through 
			some trap 
	intended 
	to spare 
		          a road
	      now a chasm
	 	barely visible
i tear these eyes out
for you.
                       
to arrive
as if to say
or to say
and
i tear these eyes out
for you.
