“It Pursued Me” ...

“ It Pursued Me “

It pursued me
into my dreams
as a singing species
of unearthly beings

believed to be females
unfolding
from repressed spheres
of unnerving coteries

provoking nonbeings
via “disembodiment”
invariably hinging on fragility

resembling wind string or reed
haunting whistling modifying larynx
timbre stamp construed to be male

according to theories
of shared morality
as unravelled individualities

texture personality echoing passion
pale inanimate threadbare
genderless messengers

bearers of letters expressed
as intense “inner sexes”
charismatically witnessed
texts and sonnets
slow solemn stillnesses...
