autobio for day five

to curate a chapel we put our hands together and blew

in warmer latitudes a glimpse of ocean mouth

the sea-green beyond finger steeple

 

a self of units

song a decorated structure

any starling

any rattle

 

we migrate from saltwater

any of creeping various

the body of the lower

amatory, saclike

family of egress
