exclusions: palpable

he is like an actor
in his own life
playing a role
that is not natural to him

his face
that rearranges
into things
he does not understand

and his eyes
were brown at one point
they used to be receptive
they used to recognize their surroundings

now they're ash
they're cumulus grey
they're things falling to the earth

globs of mercury
running down his face

poisonous mercury

love
is not enough
