Poems
Jul 2012
man cross man
i.
horrors of the gentle;
a list.
father
in a son's grocery.
all things tower.
ii.
I am weak but only for you.
I am weak but only for you.
iii.
if your only fear is that you will be eaten
you are not
afraid.
iv.
the mirror's
most fervent
devotee-
has no face
and in these last hours
has no face.
v.
perfectly round
the muscle
that slides
from its arm.
vi.
state your grounds
for burial.
vii.
a scroll, flat. or a tongue.
viii.
an elephant can be opened
with the tusk
of another.
its belly can accommodate
most families.
ix.
the under-shepherds
under
the train
cannot lift
a single crow.
x.
what one takes for god's coat
is probably
just a moth.
xi.
my house
is your
inherited
house.
and death its own angel.
