Poems
Feb 2014
pathos
our fighting
determines
which of us
is more
sonsick.
relic child, town crier.
I take what I’m given, beating.
cerecloth, snow
on snow
before and after
it buries.
me of course
as I position
myself
to hum
above
a basket.
me as I marry homeward
and kick
ball, stone, stiff
bird
stiff bird in death
doubling as
the rat
of an angel
yes
kick
for reasons known
to another’s
pet cobra
skin to skin
in an unmarked
life.
