When you greet me, remember
who I am. Because I hold
myself for ransom like a bomb
or tightly structured as
fibers in a crystal
does not mean that I am
ruined. You're such a child
all fur and feathers, a cloud
with bullets in its head.
When I am private, cold
cracked, corrosive, blue
put my body on the coals
to heat my bones.
