dragging her fingernails across the air as
stage left, he steps from darkness into his flesh
under the minatory glare the flexed
tendons of his fingers, her eyes and
lips flare when he stumbles
she is aware without looking
almost they embrace
vessels and nerves of his cheek under
a thin strata of fascia when
her mouth breaks black open
when stage right he exits cupping the wound
when she cries out
I see the world upside down.

Then he deflowers her, pulling away the greenery.
Then a blue vein thinning into a hollow.
Then it is the hollow between her neck and lower jaw.
Then spaced ligaments twitching in his forearm.
Then connected in lightlessness they are.
Then by an invisible capillary network.
Then balancing on her nates, her legs in the air waving.
Then he returns with a limp.
Then into her bent spine.
Then she is grabbing at unused air over her head.
Then is he inching edgewise turning his face.
Then offers her his armload of giftstraw and loose ash.
Then staggering away horrified.
Then coming toward him, hands upward, palms out.

拖动她的指甲划过空气
在舞台左侧，他从黑暗步入他的肉身
在他威慑的逼视
和柔软指腱下
她的双目和嘴唇泛着光
当他蹒跚，她无须看便知
他们几乎拥抱
他脸上的血管和神经
在薄薄的筋膜层之下
而她的嘴破了黑色空旷
在舞台右侧他退出杯状伤口
当她叫出声
我看见世界上下颠倒
* * *
然后他破了她的花容，拉开绿色
然后一条蓝色静脉细润入中空
然后他的脖颈和下颚之间出现空洞
然后间隔的韧带在他的前臂抽搐
然后他们在无光里连结
然后经过一道隐形毛细血管网
然后平衡于她的臀部，她的双腿在空中波动
然后他趔趄归来
然后进入她弯曲的脊背
然后她捞抓头顶的新空气
然后他缓缓沿边移动，转开他的脸
然后赠她以怀中的秸秆和草灰
然后惊悸地蹒跚而退
然后靠近他，双手上举，手心朝外
