Anomia

interactions with endless limits

of what this body chooses to remember

the definition of limerence

twitches in my left hemisphere

only to become sedimentary

a fossil I cannot interpret

digging itself underground

and I, amateur archaeologist I am,

fumble the excavation

break the relic in two. 

I open my mouth and I, too, solidify,

I weep and my tongue becomes a mountain

I speak and it erupts

only in words

I’ll regurgitate later
