In this grunting spectacle
of machines
that go
nowhere
I cannot

put my mouth
on the animal that’s having my memories

Later,
God with death’s
perfect baby

In my brother
a child
asks
for a child
hoodless
boy

Later,
there is no
future
in being
the surgeon
of an angel

Lately I touch
with yours
my subscription
to pain, I love

my children too much
to be a good father

This doesn’t even go here

Imagine finishing a poem about debt

God’s

A man can be seen sitting on the roof of his mother’s house. He has a gun, or a stick, and some say they can hear a baby crying. I am the man’s most quiet brother. A cop talks to my brother from below and is pointing at my brother’s dog and is telling my brother that we are all going to count to three and the dog will die. My brother screams it isn’t his dog. The dog looks hurt. I think by this.

they shove an egg
down my pants
and start

They gave my insides to the animal that had smelled me in heaven. They are trying to grow the loneliest woman.

A ventriloquist falls silent in a film that shows hell. There are places in heaven that are too close to god.
