A semi-list poem in free verse.

wet tear duct

pink membranes

smoothly skate

lubricate

a belt of notched gold

an eye all cornea

adamant spear of the pupil

pins you to the wall

river of hair

pink, wet nose

silent siloed towers

whiskers wide in well

enough space to

slide through

the rough

barbed tongue

now pause

claws, broad

supple knuckles

stretch sheathed scimitars

sharpened in time

to    y a w n

the back

an arrow

arched in flight

the pupil

crystal clear

still a spear

in my mind
