spiderless summerless machine

Ohio snow
wasn’t real
I wrote
that it was
did you see
your son
collecting
the same
rock
everyday
the same
rock
its vigil
for the twisted
ankle
of a ghost
on its way
to god
well 
well
the veins
of the moon
are never
full
your son
goes
even
from heaven
missing
yes
from there
he was there
