tremor

constraints are part of the game, someone must have let him in,

tainted in the confessional a miscarriage of signs,

the credit of creation, an intimacy with death

woman vivisected

of ideals and devotion, obedient only to time, and sacred from touch & grasp

Treated as one entity, "I want to be clean."

that she both creates & rids Eden of its Garden

a divine stillness in the hesitation, an angel flies in the space between,

yet the reach is racked with a tremor.
