Who framed Roger Ballen? man on verandah

surrounds us with housing. given the insanitial impetus
we grow closer to one
another photosynthesis
in the dark

cells are murderous
we are all
but one

overcome
the armour

dies another time
the body being confident
more in than out
it breathes
a contorted fist

after some time
traces

of reproduction
every where
