death and a death place

The eyes have only 
their childhood

a last word on time

I only believe in god because of how long god takes 
to kill my children.

Anyway, live.
Scare touch.

consumptions

God died doing math in a nightmare. Not everyone was able to hide the body. Men without mothers bit themselves thinking it would lead to nakedness. Angels did the same but thought nothing. Fire chased an empty bus past the cemetery of the three things I couldn’t name. Into a small life of startled handguns, people in photos were born. Gameshows, I said plainly, above a hole the ground touches for being hungry.

for a toothache. Babies
are never
young.
