[in the past I am describing god to my attacker]

I don’t take good care of things.

I can’t even give you
examples.

[dead child]

the future
the past
both are ready

to talk

[late poem]

one can only write so long
about loss
in pencil

find my house,
dog-on-fire

[reading and writing]

which one of us did loneliness hear coming?
