Thibault Raoult

Another Burn, Another Rhythm Section

Paulo sneaks around—
And that's someone's world.
Could
stay here longer, sign

My hips away, gravitate
Toward three creeks, one
Creek in four acts, a watch

Stretched over five
Invasive valleys. Or
Just let Mama know

Sage something.
What do we do now
Our home's sanz mist?

A shape to be taken up
With Mansour, Mansour
Who forges absents.

Come to think: ask
How her river was
Boogie, bought.
