untitled

dream told mom her fairy tale was having a nightmare

she sat up in a car being towed

–

the first time I seen beauty boy I thought my body was filling with mud

–

I came to in the knowledge of three gods

all pulling at the same creature
for pecking
at shadows

–

I washed my feet and my feet washed my ears

–

the woman
she don’t
cock her thumb
to shoot
birds
from a riding

mower

–

skin, the highlight
of any
birth

don’t pray
for the human
pretzel
