removal musics (ix)

what a quick study
addiction is

this longing
my father’s

(her childhood a pinning of morose insects)

no horse but maybe
one
that pillows
a tree’s
broken
hip-

this poem, lonely expert
in a town of goats

the brain a nude

a prayer for the tall mother whose cigarettes void brevity

piano that disappeared
milk
that didn’t…

feather in the stomach
of my angel’s ghost

response musics (ii)

I thought girlhood the boyhood of grief

childcare, handprints, the failed hearts
of octopi

toy / on a stair / left there / by doll

god (memory)
making its way
through the useless
infant

myself
an impressionist

(because all

my mothers
faint
