Singing onward,
a dull ache inside
the inner ear,
and a neck grown
past its natural length
from peering over
uncounted generations
of stonework
in bone corsets and
shifting hemlines,
from ankle to mid-thigh
to the decorative crotch.
She is an anachronism
from a future levee,
a dike built to shelter
a rumoured cosmos.dike: a bank of earth formed of material being excavated
