Built

 I am all

boundaries like a property map

and scaffolding of 

scar tissue

and nets of 

projected nerve--

an edifice, a public monument,

an institution of self.

My foundation is dug

deeper than I want to know,

fathoms in the earth,

My spire to be

is beyond the bounds of

atmosphere.

Yet here am I

a work in progress

sorting out the many ways

that I 

am built.
