auto-immune
mumbles seep through windowpanes
traps injure and fail
echoes reset in isolation
lost ability weighs on lack mindgauze wants to bandage
then goes stuffy damp
a cilice of fatigue
purplesfirst
this is all
illness is everything
no better beckons eversecond
vigilance glitches
insufficient and itchythird
solitude settles
past shiftinganimals blown
so far off course
their intuition misfires—
their sensors taxed
to bankruptcywingbeats weaken
necks sag
feet come untucked
and doubts find drains
to circle
