    from the article:

    unheimlich II

    heap of words shell of silk and grit

    page located between night and wildfire

    small catastrophe of corners door knobs, broken windows

    blood and feathers


    hunger

    I see so many straight lines angles walls fences rectangular windows

    rooms inside with more square angles corners made of vectors leading nowhere

    but the thing is I am hungry

    I am hungry for sinuous round sinewed lines of muscle and feather

    I am hungry for voluptuous creamy mounds of earth sand and flesh

    I am hungry for unruly expanses of unbound sound spilling over ponds singing clouds

    I am hungry for layered tufts of silk and pistils quivering quills and lines of rain that don’t stop moving when they reach my skin

    I am hungry and I am unstoppable

    I am hungry and my hunger is boundless and irreverent

    I am hungry and I am done with your merciless greed your colorblind rules and walls

    I am hungry and I am multitudes of possibility and infinite breath and light

    I am hungry do not stand in my way
