city,

city 88

Your car long gone

You hear from your father
about a city
that has

One raccoon

no
cinema

city,

city 85

Your body won't change if in your dream

There are many
people

*

city 86

Hand, hand, bar of soap.

Some fish are never

Hungry

*

city 87

Even god's children get their death from books

city,

city 84

City of my grandmother, grandfather, aunt.
City of my human 
year's 
dog.

Death has never known what it's looking for.

Believes it will remember

city,

city 81

I forget to eat and god says I am swimming

*

city 82

The sleep I do in my sleep

I can't
carry this

*

city 83

My son's wrist 
Was a flower
But vanished

city,

city 80

How quietly they eat

This far, even

From the birdwatcher's strangled son

city,

city 79

Instead something joins the body

And two 
places

Die

city,

city 76

Our waiting and our leaving

The moment
they meet

*

city 77

Occasionally the odd ghost that worships
blood and glue

*

city 78

I can't always find the year I believed in god

from nearby 2008 bc I can't stop being old and done with writing

NOSTALGIA

my father

even
dark.

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
