By Appointment Only

Yesterday I clapped my hand around the air and
summoned a new sound

Yesterday I crisped the edge of my thumb with match-flame

Yesterday, it was a sullen saturday with all its
marbled sunlight cracking on the faults of my
eye-glasses, I noticed that when the tip of my
tongue touched my taught lip, it made the hum
of a deep reed and smelled like nothing I have known
