some recent poems:
[asking]
can I miss
my body
with yours
our blood
the loneliest
bone
~
[rarefactions]for Kazim Ali
pain has no spirit, I am never
so sad
that I can’t
scrape
the neighbor’s
car, probably
you won’t
survive, babies
are all
the same, I recite
what sounds
pretty, it seems
less happens
in the winter, to animals
and bread

[periapt]
I saw nothing fantastic.
an angel
freezing to death
in a somersault. a mirror
coming out of its skin. emptiness
the size of a pea
no pea
empty
~
[vein]
in the blue church of my father’s thirst

(hunger)
like an eye-patch, and emerge
starless
from the uncooked blood
