a chicken with its head cut off
takes part in a melodrama
fit for a swan
-
both halves of my daughter
live thinking they are survived
by the other
-
mall nuns.
just nuns
taking a shortcut.
-
my daughter uses a pencil
when pretending
to smoke.
nesting failure
makes her sad.
-
I spend my days seeing things.
as if
youth is a museum
-
poverty isn’t
