it knows, the lesser
pig, not to eat
its own
blindness
and I quote
not father
but father’s
language
two ways
to lose
an eye
Nicholas Christian has three poems at ~ isacoustic* ~
fuck am I to do
boy
with a resurrected
moth
–
her decoy’s
clock
distracted
by time, she swims
to have
no ghost
–
on tv
the carpenter
dies
we adjust
his tinfoil
hat
–
cleaning
is in
the blood
let them think
Charlotte Hamrick has three poems at ~ isacoustic* ~
Daniel Paul Marshall has three poems at ~ isacoustic* ~
death in its dream home
had a psalmic
memory

odd-numbered
women. hell was empty
and we wrote

his father
had a beekeeper’s
wave
the recurring dream of my blood
is loss. dear ma,
your book
how to appear
edible
to a thoughtless
creature…
I don’t know. birth is whose
burned
hand
