Matinal

by Indigo Tempesta

Figure of athlete under one sheet two blankets
one sheet one electric blanket one comforter
one sheet one comforter electric
on the floor
movable feast

The figure of prone Actaeon
the tendons of blankets
stiff sinews while slept under
wrought wrath while
asleep

Finale of cut concord
vespertine unstringing of tendons and blood
leavings strung on home’s face
hard surfaces of redding-matter
surfaces surrendering

Suspended orchestral, taut catgut
body not yet in motion
wherewith Actaeon recomposèd
with electral meditation
ascends
