Alternative text description for screen readers:

(Handwritten in black, running diagonally from the top left corner to bottom right, with grey distortion increasing toward said corners)


is she a mystery?

is she a symbol?

is she in trouble?


(Typed in grey and black, centre-aligned within the middle of the right side of the page, with the black words and letters representing those in bold)


the light does not exist until the auralist-cum-voyeur

enters it. a tendered fizz of angora conceals her

rabbit's heart. the dreambirds winding through

her ears glide from her throat into a bruise-lined

cave flanked with fibrous uvulae.

a matted nap of silk reveals the

spent cocoon.


(Typed in black and grey in the middle of the left side of the page, beginning at the height where the right-most stanza ends. Overlapping words are represented with a slash between them)


she/i will

show you/her light

where fire

has eaten my/your/our eyes
