The act of making something clear
the time you threw my clothes out on the lawn
cotton blend and rayon country couture
disembodied casualties of my selves
To state the meaning of a term
Cunt, you screamed to the streetlights, parked cars, neighbors,
one eyed Harry harvesting the garbage
as if I were a scrap of cellophane, an empty instant noodle bowl
The meaning of a word using other words
bitch, whore, snatch
I followed the shape of your mouth
as you bullied from the stoop
Intensional, which strives to give the essence of a term
debilitate, render weak and useless, blind, mindless,
leaving a shell within a shell
Extensional, listing an object that a term describes
back to cunt, to bitch, to whore, to snatch
In mathematics, a definition is used to give a precise meaning to a new term
instead of using a pre-existing term
Phoenix
a river rising
dawn reaching for the sun
