My own undressing bores me 
but it does not bore you. There is 
an economics to this. Heliotrope: the 
staging 
             of a pre-dawn field. Little

footsteps—4am—an even
snow. Somewhere
                               a daughter is

abjected. It must go on record
that such occurrences take
place, disproportionately, at

the centre of a field. That said,
there are fields we can
choose from.
                      In one

she has frozen to death.
      [Paradoxical undressing: a phenomenon
      [frequently seen in cases of lethal hypoth
      [ermia in which, shortly before death, ind
      [ividuals will remove all or most of their c
      [lothing. Because of this, exposure casual
      [ties are often misidentified as victims of
      [a violent crime.
                                Another: plastic

forks. It is not unusual
to dredge one’s hands through
layer upon                     layer of
unspeakable
                     whiteness and find
something other

than wheat. To snap the prongs
from a brittler frame. To hold them
in one’s mouth.
                         The final field  

is printless. Bare. She
melts it
             inside-out.
