I come from

the channel in the gorge
blankets of moss

an exhalation of pigs 
before slaughter

red-dyed cotton cords
that keep the dead upright

drops of rice wine stolen
from the lips of the anito

alphabets of coagulated blood
swimming in hot broth

the hollow of ringing space
between mortar and pestle
 
a kind of dancing which others
mistake for shuffling

high winds sculpting ledges
where we'll rest in time
