how to live in the country dark
toss frogs
into a fire
your father made.
find a woman
who’s abandoned herself
to being led
by a stick
let her blind mongrel
lick your palm.
bury a handful
of gravel
call it
the moon’s
grave.
hide in houses
hidden
from road.
make at least one friend
whose night vision
is a glass of milk.
double your body
by walking
drunk.
