There's something acting on this body
something goes in when nothing comes out
and someone's acting on this information
but, nothing's registered from this location
from this site that i sense that i am
in asking, "what is burning in my eyes?"
i wanted a language of my own
my lips were sucked empty and i mouthed the lines of this crowd
that surrounds me, punctured and parceled
i fold my hand to this site that i sense that i am
asking, "what is this burning in my eyes?"
