0 degrees ( deux )



empty
Mercury in retrograde
drained of everything but elementary desires
.... eat
drink
drink me ...
my smallness intrigues me.
i am invisible
hollow
orphaned from the moon and you ....
untethered and unbalanced
eat
drink ....
searching for definition
ANY definition !!
against the yellowed october leaves
of the
curly willow outside my glass walls ...
outside the definition of me
is it cold ? is it past ? are we there yet ?
this vacant inability to feel .
Mercury at 0 degrees .
pierce this numbness ; pull me closer ...
fill in the void with colored pencils, indigo and the scent of pumpkin ...
bounce me back to Jupiter
and the hope and
pinch of something true ....
