Murmur
Julia Luna
wasp in a crab shell
hysterical
single foot swinging rocks turn
black to the water bend before fish
hook memories
unsubmissive repeated
distortion
slips
wet
he’d step over it
unsilent I held
scraps
between my eyes
sharp
gray
burden
bringing the thud late
you’re the small rubber end of this crutch
sick shuttled ear
popping out the
white noise the
sediment
washed up
