my blur flew from puddle to puddle

 

Vincent A. Cellucci

 

 

 

 

I am

still

slow

in

the

process

of

disappearing

 

some

folks

have

tape

recorders

 

I have

blur

and

a ship’s

memory

 

a

more

reliable

fallible

 

a

rebel

with

so

much

heart

 

see

I

don’t

recall

the

site

 

just

the ritual

 

nor

the

sentence

 

just

the

sentiment

 

all

toxin

confetti

absurd

trivia

of my

specter

 

three

blue

hearts

of

an

octopus

 

sure

maybe

I want

more

nothings

 

an

ink

cannibal

 

but

I made

friends

 

currents

lifting

me

from

trench

to

trench
