poems, from it, are below:

[entries for listen]

mirror
to window
we’re moving
away

[entries for fixation]

the name of this scar
is
they couldn’t hide
the canoe

mom says there’s an oven
at the bottom of every lake

that I was born asleep
surrounded
by toe touchers

is art
world-building
for the geeks
of grief

have you crucified

starfish

[entries for children]

remember, it is dark and memory is god painting with the blood of those he would create
