a reading from {hick lore rabbit hole}:

and, from it, some poems:

[crib worship]

an animal lost in a little church

a hallucinating buzzard

snow
that light
replaced

[spoonings]

the insomniac’s apple tree and a pig paler than its own star

the pinky swearing ghost of my rib

[laconicism]

sex, make your face.

my father returned a clock
hair
fell from
a birthmark…

deaf as a housefire
my brother was raped
in two
tents, he pulled our mom

from a clown car
a tornado
died
in hell
