The Night’s Incision

The voices

that you hear are just your own,

my dear, telling you the things

you have been fighting

all along, twisting time

into a pretzeled simulacrum

of the past, where you

have always been your daddy’s

Barbie doll, frozen on film,

thin red nightie no correlative

for innocence.

Now you turn

against the moment’s involutions,

anticipating the first gestures

of dawn, perhaps, wondering

how best to measure the night’s

incision, or love’s, and by

the twitching of your skin

I gauge the jolts that you

are bound, still bound, to bear.
