cry out or out-mourning, film stills when i close my eyes
it's getting there, the community of mouths open to the sky,
the community of eyes wide open or closed against the film of the sky.
this is the oral stage, the oral staged, the oral on stage.
the oral brackets the world, pole and polar.
the oral swallows the world, now if i were not telling a truth.
the truth swallows the oral, the world swallows the oral and the truth.
the world swallows the world and shimmers, shudders, splits from the
world.
this is the world and the splitting of the world.
the world splits into sheaves of time and space, you can't touch them.
you can't touch them but here you can touch them.
you can see them here too.
this is the trope of 'false seeing,' 'you can see them here too.'

and soon text and soon structures cry out,
structures cry out through the text,
they cry out, they do not want to die,
they want to remain open and supine,
you may read them and write them,
you may harbor thoughts among them, and others,
others may harbor thoughts,
and others beyond others, and many places,
or none at all, or all, or all at once,
these cryings out among our universe,
i would like to say, these are our signature,
and theirs, and others, our universe remembered
for its crying out,
