depictions of reentry (xvii)
the sisters compare how many months they’ve stayed pregnant
/ nearby,
a boy
believes
he’s guessed
from no more
than the image
of a swollen
fish
which alien
showed interest
in our
despair /
(I am looking for a place to whip my brother that is not a bathroom)
/ my father
he is waiting
for the price
to come down
on a thing
he says
will prove
theft
has no mother
and forgiveness
no god / as a dentist
dreams
it’s all
in the legs
