years had passed
his asking
for a pencil
his wondering
for his mother
how to tell
each finger
the story
of her straightened / teeth
(years)

had pinned
a ribbon
on a woman
made of straw, since animals
were small enough
to bleed
to death
in paint
cans
beside
any lake
made
by a dog’s
tick
from radio
static, since abuse
was both
moon
and both
moons
