Hand-replacement Paroles

Except

The million cooks of any earth moment You have ever seen
have let you hold the mirror by the edges
With the frame off for a minute

and cut...
and ...the inside of your body has not ceased to be a blind spot

The longer you go
The more the laws of flesh reveal to you
about those more visible veins on the back of your hands

Something very serious,
the sort of thing that escapes from say a tophat or hotel unmothered
Serious as the missing stories of a burnt out building

For example:
A heren and snake knot their necks in a fear based fight to the death
Easy like a clean cut cylinder of frozen lake
denying
That first instinct to put a beautiful view in your mouth...

and eat.
