The body lies diluted in the present,
present-wise;
in spacetime, spacetime-wise

It treads in nocturnal concentrate,
in wolf-hour essence; wolf-hour-wise

It runs spring-flood-wise in the spring flood,
falls with the autumn rain, autumn-rain-wise

It rocks in the swells, swell-wise

It gargles in the storm drains, Kyzyl-like,
kargyraa-wise

It shuts doors, opens windows,
chews minimum subsistence, minimum-subsistence-wise

It tears up start-up grants and relocation allowances,
strip-wise, ribbon-wise

Yes, the body drills through bedrock
with the whispers of neutrinos, neutrino-whisper-wise

It semaphores sign-wise across the clouds
in the birds' turns of the hand
on YouTube

The body disgorges
The body accepts the consequences
