from Architect 3
Migration is an act inextricably bound to childhood
the wolf womb, the open portal, the time-wound,
the dark pines shining back eyes,
the shineback,
the crying woman
the slap from a man
the slap back
the hole in the wall
the fist in the girl
the half-moon split between nations
the obliterated nation
the chord in the bedroom
the milky flame
the leaf of cloth around the child
the found secret
the way down
