a poem for my children about my brothers

A deer to kiss my neck

A horse to want a wrist, oh

wait

The moment just after the tackle when we’re all still and can’t be seen together

I don’t love anyone until I drink

The being that changes into your mother
is your mother

I shape myself to death
Miss you

into leaving
