A TEAR HERE

There is a tear in her / She was torn / He tore her

a new universe
describes the known

surfaces which never seem
to change facts like

a tear / She, torn / He tore

galaxies so vast
and the direction always
down towards

theory
since city light
sings over
any possible

Tear in her / she / He

drips glitter
from space,

a cold somewhere
inside her,
hidden

Tear / her / his

A TEAR HERE

undescribed motion
of the past

held captive
in the theatre of

Tear / here

speech
a length of stuttering light

O to unfurl
the throat at last
through

here / her
