Gloria.

undocumented days · in the utter dark
   leave still a certain stain
apex memoirist · wearily aims
   self at a silken absence
formica murmuring · garage of gruesome asides
   the wish to have heeded

First you take a firm hold of the legs.

“A fine boat is that coffin carved in the coppice of feelings / I too drift in it downbloodstream, younger still than your eye (...) You are light: you will sleep through my spring till it’s over.”

(Celan; tr. Hamburger) via @dreamsofbeing

Tempered Elan.
