curio

making book covers
in the nude

my brother
my higher
brother

is on
about
some late
film

performance
by a woman
he says

has inspired him
to take a shit
on a baby
in a pick-up
truck
and to drive

the truck and to call his route

the border
of the last
miracle

or we can call it
something else

I don’t think
he knows
really
I am just

something saddened
by sorrow, a frog

aware
of caves, as if god’s

creatures
were a result
of god
imagining
what she’d not
seen

scatter…

longhand
the syringe
of poor
colossi,

wrists
both suicide
attempt
and apologue:

I love
brother

for how

he’d split
himself
into outside

time
and inside
time

that he might
tell
a door
fuck-off
or a dreaming

hieroglyph
his tale

the band-aid
and the risen
ant
