Poems
Jul 2012
upland glyphs
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.
