Of Small Power
crossed at the knee
triangles strung from ankles
under ceaseless red
spiderskin cracks
to twisted pelvic
floors
scuffed by abrupt
turns
taken on heel
+
this morning my legs
bend in only one direction
+
words from my father
titch notches
into unfamiliar kneecaps
when Sun rests
in equilibrium
they malleate
+
we'll learn how to walk
along flashing
arms
and bare words
behind closed
mouths
left unopened
+
along with my father
who lived
forgotten
inside folds of self
respect
