dislanguage two from the other
a doll thrown into a cornfield, if it comes back, you can't wear clothes for a week, poems mention twins soooooo so often, a stick figure starves because it doesn't know what it eats, most of these need my childhood, which isn't fair, which is very ******* fair, it got all covered up, those babies, those babies killing angels, I prayed to a paper microscope, a spot on my back burned so patiently that a star faked its death, I was as warm as a toy, god got those names from a bomb

A STRING OF POEMS GOODBYE
I don't remember anything I write. Sometimes people I know die. An image faints inside an eye. They made that bomb to know a guy. Know I die.

COLLAPSE
Death learns one language then praises my dumb song. I miss your mom. My whales are not real. Music gets lost all the time. It's my farness that's gone.
