strike, struck, scavenged. sticking herself together
voodoo-like then collapsing in pick-up sticks, flash-lit,
flesh-bound. it's all

darkroom penance, blacklight
backlit, her model
solarized. "But I meant" history of,
invention with (intervention within) custodian
and concierge argument, as if
there were a key that the doorman lost. utopian,

darkness,
feeling
along the wall, fingers coming into
silhouette, blurred, assembled, her
convinced, conceived, and
getting
brighter.
