Encounter

A different voice
Tumbles
Through my sheet
At the sound of water drips
At dawn.

I lift it
Massive cargo
Of flesh inside
Rolling down.

In between,
The slash of a breath...

A receiver
Closes up my pants.

I lift it
Reduced to
The meat of a feather
Pausing a gaze
At its own inconsistency

A stranger's voice
Mumbles.
For the first time
I say my name.
