[bodytext] => I heard the blackbird sing I//'//m constantly constructing spiderwebs to walk through I take apart myself I//'//m inked loosely here I hear voices and echos I//'//m a tangle of twigs I wear an iron key around my neck I//'//m a locked cell I suspect my pen I//'//m a fence of many stripes I come and go as a shadow I//'//m the charcoal-blue darkness of a storm coming I look to absolve my own sins I//'//m an open grave illusion I walk alleys for pinecones I//'//m breathing slower and deeper I pet the brute.
