give me
the gift
of sorrow
the strongman’s
pencil
-
in the purgatory
of spaced out
animals, ****
on the short
straw
-
tell me I’m not surrounded
-
show to my brother
youtube videos
of our mother
sleeping
on her father’s
back
-
say something in my sister’s mouth
-
scrub me
from the shoemaker’s dream
with a rock
the rock
I deserve
