APHASIA POEM 23

somatic ecstasy
falls free of asymmetric neural
gravity, uses convolutions

of earthly inertia
to reach escape velocity, to
free fall in the vacuum of desire.

this rhapsody of
inarticulation, this spasm
of wordless chaotic unity

overtakes direction,
overtakes speed, overtakes time for
a weightless instant of curvature.

bodies breathing words and empty space,
transit veiled hemispheres out of place
