A child divides the second

it is born

into infinite places.

 

All our usual selves

carry out the menial statures.

 

Some will die,

some will live forever.

 

Our multiversal persons

protect and extract

savagely and in the most

perfect, foremost differences.

 

A child divides

because man, woman,

beast and lover

 

breed in the bells

of tannoy galaxies

 

separating constantly.

 

The rigid sinews

of our cosmic bones

shoot and shatter

 

dividing all dimensions

 

independent

from its own kind
