_Nude poem (2)_

This poem right                 here
 reminds me of another poem lost in remembering
nothing about itself or the intervention

the scratches here and there
 uncared into scars recur in amnesic dreams like the
unfinished lines neither erased nor delivered squeeze and writhe about in the manner
of rain-washed earthworms peppered in semi-abandoned diaries

this poem here is
 about that poem somewhere: a nude poem perhaps that was one without
words for ornaments one with feelings alone for flesh a nude poem of yours a nude
one mine
