Lung Itch

I find a train�s side
and spray paint my eyelashes and spine
message to you, to spot
from your tower with delicate opera glasses.
You will wet your lips
with your tiny pink tongue.

The next morning, I wake forgetting a question.
Sinking triggers division.
One long muscle runs from the right hand to the left foot,
crossing another (running from the right foot to the left hand)
at the hips.

A path of orange light draws
across the polished hammered-steel surface
of the ocean to anyone watching.
The grooves of a seashell interlock with my thumbprint.
And now I am a number in an accountant�s pad.
The slithering coastline hisses.
