Vivian Ia


was with oneness


 eyelash moon
dear exoskeleton, i am a loon
on a lake

i anticipate the vernal light
lie down
& rest a head
fizzy with oasis
carted off,

feet first
spores and i
escape to space
on the regular,
in any reality
delusion abounds

—air,
please erode me
i fuse into godheads
as godheads
diffuse me, we, whatever-me
& the godheads

we’re singing the lyrics
inside out
to desert days
without thunder
when suddenly a body
fresh hooves

imbibing the ground
ready, set

in the beginning
there was a fight
