Deuteronomy 5: In Writing

Faced with your face
who retains a face?

What eyes are not
dissolved in your flame?

Immolated to
ash-laden air

burdening clouds,
clustered with flocks

livid flame,
blinding as black

Crushed by a weight
I can’t escape

Tremble in dark dense
fingering a way away

From the vocative
voice

that compacts the flesh
wakes decayed corporality

buried
in the still of my palms

sere as a smoking pyre
I feel the brand


Your face fills the hollows of my face
