sang a tooth in a rock in a mirror of salt

Who does the mother go back to

In me
(with the rabbit
patience
of porn)
a devouring
slow motion
stops
the spread

of deer

(I thought I’d been sick
I thought my brothers
had been sick
(I thought
this:

my son
sees himself
on his stomach
eating sleep

in heaven

)
God’s first doll
mocked
by Joseph
for dreaming

of glaciers)
because she knows
her mother) is dead

her mother
is dead
