Add a day to the month of purification
to scrub away the skin,
pinking red mingling gold
to white of bone.
A dance I miss: I've found a job
and words and words I cannot say
all's crap out here, I have a room
and bed and internet. I am alive. I watch the sun
arc above rooftops and treetops bare
into the western sea,
starlings and crows and gold eyed mynas
rain their white flood like ash, like viruses,
and I am alone, Mark and his shrouded corpse,
the plebs slaughter Cinna, Lucan's April bath.
