what a terrible thing to know that someone’s going to heaven

Soon
our wait
a baby
to autopsy
god

Soon a doll worrying over its attractions
soon its souvenir a nicotine
patch
from its father’s
arm

Soon a perfect face
shrinking touch
in the smuggled
stomach
of a shy
ocean

Soon my atrocious renderings
of nude
animals, soon

a beetle
on its back
is a flower
