O is origin.

	Trapped between the terror of remembering
and the terror of forgetting
the ordinary mortal
suffocates in sleep

	Who will stick in their hand
skim off the dull scum of thought
to catch the underthought
the subcutaneous pain
the skinned but living flesh in all its fury
another saint is going up in smoke
