(b)(p)(w)(s)

(the point in spacetime when coalescence of self completed)

(inviting many to celebrate, receiving one

decorations and cake

like a slash to the face)

(existent then)

(behold the gift

this necklace of blood crystals

dappled with shimmering teardrops

it dazzles as it chokes)

i want to see the sea

in other words, self consciousness

at the boundary of individual throbbing into collective

like order seeks to inseminate itself into high entropy
on land, knowing the empty sky by its radiation
a pair of seagulls circling manhattan towers seek and seek
