Open Fragments



The Universe Moved
and within it, cattail over cattail,
so did we.

Reality Is
something other than when
you breathe in, breathe out,
and fall over dead.

The Words Themselves
are fleshy bodies
with their own muscles and bones.

Just Names
and the people inside them.

Lidia likes to throw herself from rooftops because that is a kind of philia, and she is a generally mild mannered unless she is screaming. She likes the moon and munching spines.
