and i’m chasing myself down the back alley and across the stairs. i’m searching for my hands, my body like a corpse washed up on the riverbank and speaking a tongue i no longer recognize.

here are my lungs, my throat, the tenderveined inside of a forearm. here’s flesh dissolving into sea foam—a myth played in reverse (orpheus walking backwards into the pit of the world). here’s me losing myself in the dark waters again

i’m doing it again—becoming a wound of a person, an abscess.

i am losing myself, following the rapids up to higher ground where i can see what i should have been. what i will never get back.

- What’s the matter?

- I can’t get back to myself.

... I got into some trouble, had a lot of success... I think the important thing is that it led me back here to me.
