There is no other child who is this one. There is no other nurse who is this one. There is no other hand eye tooth bone. There is no other sibling, no other tree. The rulers kill the world and say their stupid words. Their sounds waste breath and with their lives they kill life.

& how the last
time I saw you, you held
me for so long I saw whole
lifetimes flooding by me
