I
mpetus of the waiting body, inducement to touch
the intersection of subject and history
—
do you like to be held down? known flesh
under gauze, writhing with the wax, affirm
this subversion of the cold universe; your tongue,
saturated with the old discourse,
refuses to be held.

 

do you know where your boundaries are? held,
permeable, opening at unsainted touch
in every sense of the word,
this resurrected tongue
a dignified but amorphous domain,
history of turning your head as a model might, or a child, to affirm
away but not breaking,
to memorize the safe word: flesh

 

has reached its apex in the Christian-capitalist era
, the flesh
wins,
to the point of being its secret motor,
some withheld
heretofore undiscovered uses
for metal and silk, affirm
the patience of leather,
transcendence
of contradictory touch,
your back
an
antilanguage,
marble palmed smooth, may history
marionette my bones as you do, into wings, span of tongue
