Poems
Jun 2014
burnings
:
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 mother
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
-
:
***
two
as if they fear
a third
:
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?
-
:
abortion
beneath the highest pop fly on record
:
divination
found myself alone in a ******* *******
:
epitaph
easier if I imagine you are clothed
:
angels
any mystique
surrounding
a small town
search party
:
blood
this ******* from the reader of my palm
-
:
terrorism
trading
back and forth
the dead
before they are
and after
:
pilgrimage
one’s ****** recovery of a native alienation
:
novitiate
I know my mother by the back of her hand
:
drone
I don’t believe
in being
attacked
-
:
chthonic
a prayer asking god to brush your teeth
