if one were to define a home
one could do worse, than to call it
the body which it hurts the most to leave
but I am not leaving a body
it is, instead, dissolving around me
---
it is, instead, being consumed
and I will be consumed with it
every home will be consumed, in the fullness of time
the body of a whale is not an exception
why, would the body of a whale, be an exception
