the liquidity of your gestures

Jon Nakapalau

changed after he left you

as if the weight of motion
was taxing your broken heart

moving slow and with heavy strobing
current limiting to your hands and feet

in circular disconnect
air becoming moist and heavy

and the spinning
like a small animal caught in a trap

that the hunter has forgotten he set.
