odd knocks



Chinese Foot Chart

From The Niagara River by Kay Ryan

Every part of us
alerts another part.

Press a spot in

the tender arch and
feel the scalp 
twitch.
We are no 
match for
ourselves 
but our own release.

Each touch 
uncatches
some 
remote lock.
Look,
boats of mercy

embark from 
our heart
at the 
oddest knock.
