city,

city 74

In its shadow grief the window

in the open
Mirror

*

city 75

Rabbit, microscope, flower.

In that order.

city,

city 69

Crow, with seashell

*

city 70 or 71

The short past of my body in the small
of yours

A baby chewing on its hand in pile of leaves

*

city 72 and 73

The boy has one mouse

All named
Cigarette

I thought reading would make me attractive to god. 

I ate slowly, you know? 

Like blood like time and their ableist
Newborns.

I wanted the thing that was not the thing.

Poems
in quiet
animals
An exodus
of unmoved
pairings
The corpse 

of a cricket 
My cricket 

mind

city,

city 67

Dying, touch will ask to attend

the hand's
silent film
debut

city,

city 64

How is it we know that the subway

Wanted
to be there

*

city 65

Soft teeth
And that thing your son can do

with his shoulder

*

city 66

A drawer left open in an office
is all we need

The cult of lost fingers

city,

city 62

Match the ghost to its egg
When

did I like
My children

*

city 63

In the keeplessness

or in
The boat

May 26, 2021 / barton smock

city,

city 61

One dollhouse for another
The noises
leave 

I keep the same double life

Dog's paw, child's knee 

The rifle's 

Tilted 
field

(how to starve a microscope in god's museum)

city,

city 59

Practice
forgetting

 
May 24, 2021 / barton smock

city,

city 57 or 58

A puppeteer rubbing her hands over a book of spells for the untouched

A shy thief whose items change shape
