“Whose eyes are shut in every photo” in “Shape Your Eyes by Shutting Them”
Whose eyes are shut in every photo
this girl gets digital privacy she hunts
alone rolling absence down stairs and
cleaning up after the spiders and
strafing the countryside with accidental
content and skyscraper pearls
under the counter-surveillance duvet
her many arms larval stamp with wants
can you hear the radishes roll around
in the darkness of the net
needs that don’t transmit via email
we’d like to get her into odd job securities
like laser hair or liquid heirlooms or
esotropia futures or ergonomic harp stools
we’d like her to ignite whatever meadow she
wants we’ll be calling if she hasn’t
figured out how her rainbows
hunt on two point million hectares
we fear someday someone’s going to
run the sun out of her and she’ll write
that dream will haunt us all down
