new addition
by mordecai walawelsky

He couldn’t speak his name
          but knew exactly who he was:
 Songs and Voices
 Nipples and Tongues

Thoughts without secrets or words, assembling
          the world through his eyes, we
 were caught in his orbit, casting aside
 needles and tubes, fl oating
 above midnight’s child.

We were climbing red rock
          without a harness, feeling
 our way with our fingers, we
 crept into the shadow of a crag, now we

Contemplate featureless walls, cool
          cell of our own
 construction—
 three, huddled
 in comfort.
