woman not womanly.
living's dry gesture
at the open gown of the sick.
scraped by leaves a body.
a second son
in a blanket grandmother makes.
of god we've been speaking.
hospitals when we were younger.
the tree where snakeskin.
hope not for. but for
statues of them.
live in a dent. the electric
left in a crater.
we release, outside, a balloon.
bury in the land an arm made of earth.
to curtains as fingertips
of babies
to scars.
click in the hall of yesterday with.
heels of irretrievable mercy.
*hope not for. but for
statues of them.*
an agreeable ****** in stirrups. a cradle
taken by birds.

woman not womanly.
living's dry gesture

*hope not for. but for
