Postpartum
by
Daniel Y. Harris

It’s an acronym.
Chiaroscuro lent
to outcomes

when shadows die  
on doomsday
Monday

just in time
to watch the clock
give too much

to limbs
and fingers.
Evidence is about

to surface. Amniotic
earths mark the sky.
I try to set fire to myself.

She tells me of baseness,
my wife, the paint
in this ruin of brush.  

Vellum
of fear. Hedge against
breaking.
