peer reviewed

and in part i do not want to be found
i am glad to write without form or tell 
it haunts me and at time i think would 
n't it be nice - but would it? my form 
would change - sharpened: etched into 
what today so is - i want to be known 
not as a day - i want to be read as only 
an archaeologist reads - and be shaped 
for as i discard this flesh and bones - i 
will know of the hundreds, no thousand 
of words that poured forth and it is that 
tear that falls from that one person who 
finds me
