Something is wrong with me.

--what?

If Mercury was here I would say cosmic
but for now I am stuck with continental.
Heartsick. I feel moon-beaten, like Sylvia.

--how do you know?

Doves with their necks broken, mud pits
full of flies, corn kernels undergrown and callused.
Come with me, I will show you.

--where are we going?

Always back to the water, little sister.
Bring your limestone heart, your coal eyes,
your granite bones. Come with me, I 
will show you.
