church.
entering the body
after a stroke.

milk.
my shadow
made of grass.

cow.
dumbly regarding
another’s art.

...

radio.
grandpa cursing outside
then inside
the barn.

distance.
two babies on their backs,
one a boy and one a boy-
their mothers

one of them truthfully
says bingo.

pyramid scheme.
I am sleeping
on you, on your
insomnia.

protest.
a man without sin
and his two
******* birds.

unison.
proving
your half
is also

unicorn.

crow.
we don’t use the crow.

...

infatuation.
what a knee
has
for its other.

owl.
pillow
for which
the night
has long
been looking.

yawn.
moaning
into mother
my father’s

     swimmer’s

ear.

high-dive.
or a very
private
room.

...

worry.
a thesaurus
the men
don’t use.

work.
for every right hand
a left hand
denier.

ants.
pieces
of hell
burdened
with pieces
of hell.

...

***.
two
as if they fear
a third.

poetry.
thoughts
before I have them.

house.
where mother
took place.

father.
all gods
talk
in their sleep.

body language.
writing
about yourself
with others.

the future.
every now and then
one is given
now and then.

suicide.*
might I record
this moment?
