some poems, from:

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

By the time darkness touches every map, the baby is useless. God a mistake mistaken for a childhood's double life. If there is a horse, there is a horse

thinking only of itself yet also
on the kindness
of a past
horse.

Sight cooks my eye in a voided spoon.

~~~

SAYMOST

No one in the elevator when it dies

-

By x-ray I mean many stars will find my son
