ku
water heater breaks
our bodies  humming
our ghost-quiet footsteps
in thick of night
crushing a cricket
endless repetition
conjoined twins repeat
each other's silence
my African journal--
i wake in pounding pulse of night
antelopes in my chest
seance
she speaks to me
from little heaps
of inert matter
the old nun's wager--
burn the candle 
or dread the dawn
a luminous cloud 
shifting around me, therefore
i am dense
