from 'naked in dog years':

GARDEN POEM

Adam had a gun and Eve said do something with your mouth. God asked the gun to make nakedness. The gun heard loneliness. The animals ate each other because there was no fruit.


FUNERAL POEM

With each
new dream
I’m dead
longer
to the same
people.

I learn their language
by knowing
what to say. Mine

by sleeping
naked
near a god
whose creator

is a changed
creature. I get

about as far
as a bullet
dragging
an angel. Sound

is a small
collector.
