sleep
until you feel
it passing
the slow
mattress
drowsy
and afloat
designed
for god
throw anything
you can find
stick, stone, nest, honeycomb
bird
the weight
of wasp
– name
what lands
with a friend
you can touch
sand in her ear
she goes
as a seashell
her small
joke
a way
of living
on land
with the ghost
of her unbathed
child
her mother
calling clothesline
the scarecrow’s

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
