country 14

An orange baseball gives up in a white field.

Birth and death
no longer
miss each other.

A broken branch from my dog's sleep
is a big deal

and the saddest thing

~

GHOSTALGIA

A drop of blood lands in an eye-sized field. 

Imagine
waking up
to cry.

Hide the hidden ant of your son’s loneliness.

GHOSTALGIA

In the doll's only dream, the child cuts god underwater

I wasn't ugly 
but you didn't 
see me

Return gives its hair to absence

An elevator is lost 
by an angel

~

GHOSTALGIA

A train named after another train 
changes fields. 

Mirrors forget
that god
can't move.
