i. no more can you see into another than at your age have a stroke to mirror my father’s. ii. deep into the assignment of my youth I was said to be bowing when in fact I was dipping into the thigh of Jesus repeatedly with a brush. iii. we haven’t always been godless. how this persists as comfort is a vision a fox has of illness. iv. to fox I apply a certain wakefulness. v. my father admits in his bed that some mice are alive when he bends to the earth a cornstalk and lets fly. he confides of everything he is the most guilty of hate getting him places. I have to find the mouse that means other mice. vi. (above this plain a woman’s privates thunder / below it there are those whose tears are a newborn’s thumbs) vii. a mare kneeling in a bed of maroon straw intuits doom as a color as optic Apocrypha viii. subconsciously, I am holy and by holy I can offer not being seen in the grocery as my father squints into a handheld calculator. ix. to fox paw this thorn from my mother’s apnea
