LOCATION:




What does it mean to be in narrative, to feel

narrative hyphen in your body



Who spies a doorway, to pose a question of passage

between your lips


When same vowel sounds within same word,

or in words near each other


Voices — your half-face — her side-on —

internal cross-walls called the septa


Wail

Wail

Wail


Mouth twenty three seconds silence across

a background room


Buried beneath your teeth, her tongue —

whose subtitles: look


Who is here, no remaining there — silhouette

and the light swallowed


You — running in — saying through










Out — look out here — every out — you saw










you






THIS IS WHERE YOU HEAR THE ECHO
