from Bharat jiva [I can not begin to know]

I can not begin to know
producing difference by deferring
second third person construction
in the first third person narrative
promising surrender to the dead
acknowledging, I am an unknown participant

newspaper flyspeck
on the edge of an abstract noun

because the stars fall
because all form forms time
            falls on the body

            beneath the water
because the water is an organ
because all arguments are similar
            similar singularities
because we can never discover the subject
because
because is always an object
            which is an object among objects
            which is neither and or
because we expect to find a similar
