after Aase Berg
it is my fear that tears apart the place.
apart the strange, apart the fat rose
in its muddy bed. tears the cave in two.
a wild hare bleats until its neck bleeds.

a wild hare bleats until its neck bleeds.

unraveling its petals into glass. this:
avoiding it. bringing it back and dissecting it,
the catastrophe that has already happened,
where I forget all the dead animals.
avoiding it. bringing it back and dissecting it—
it is my fear that tears apart the place,
where I forget all the dead animals
