get yourself hired
being sad
for my wife.
that you’ll report
to no one
is our
secret.
I’m horrible with nicknames.
I’m horrible with a mammoth
white dog
not called
snow-fort.
send balled-up
paper
animals and planes
into a felled
by father
flooded
treehouse.
get yourself on video
being sad, or taking
a ball
from a ballplayer.
be my wife
in spirit, be
grief and the cloak
grief
is not.
get thee to silent
fireworks
above a tipped
canoe.
