excerpts from murmur in the inventory
by erica lewis, with artwork by mark stephen finein.
Excerpt:
---------------------------------if you
repeat the names they disappear
between water and a line of type
a lump in my throat
blows into the tubes located at your
shoulders
the hole in your lip is bleeding
you don’t know what to think so i’ll
tell you
both are true
there are no neutral storms
memory or loss bores holes into you
here’s what happened here’s what some
people say what happened
i can’t separate the two
no distinction between fiction and fact
no distinction
it’s not your fault
you can’t see the sutures
so i cross reference the living with
someone else’s skin
scene from the door scene from the
window scene from the inside
my fingers cast a shadow down the center
supposing we could separate the two
shards on your face account for all
those references
in someone else’s words
the pieces spread thin from intention
oh yes
you should definitely use both hands for that speech
oh yes
you should definitely use both hands for that speech
