another inch
another loss in gripping
another patch of ice
another slide

another metal cry, guttural screeching/ smash
drums /attuning to piano’s chime
a sharp pike hit, a clinking, clanging, clunk
abrasive murmur blazing drips of fire
a tumbling

another striking shoot
through skins of water
fingers glued
attire
an interlocking bone and tissue mesh,
a scraping knife with drilling tip
intrusive
scarring
bluest water’s lip

another swing
aortal rope magnetic
clings
holds
cements
a centrifugal move

another climb
another spit
in melting
gathering rocks
vertigo head
tanked cube
