Close the volume.

Go to sleep.
Dream up something

intimately personal and
possible. Play

yourself as an inexperienced
contract psychologist with

the old-age home

I get shawled up sometimes

No worries

As in the feeling of
utter failure
when you play Tchaikovsky wrong and I yell

I’ll get hauled off sometime

My deepest chemical horror
is eternity and myself

Into the exquisite. Into the x-quiz
of what is it. No defining. The design

too deep for divining. All is a vertiginous
falling. Cliff diving. Love leaping. In-to-

me-seeing.

Who better, stone
knows all about burials
and hillsides –its slow rise

would shelter you
the way these walls
still surface one by one

from some long-gone sea

You fled to water, slipped in a wooden boat

but there the wind blew, drunken and amatory.

It’s not about you anymore,
hope, my cardinal sin.

I saw you from the inside.
It was like you spread your legs for me!

My jaw drops. My visitors’ eyes
grow round. Yep, that’s exactly how it was.

“They’re quite common,”
the bird-watcher says
to our oohs and aahs.
He would say the same
of a white crane.
In my head I tell him
and his khaki cargo vest
to fuck right off.

Any man who spends hours of his day
asking himself what he’d most prefer
will go mad, and badly

I wonder
at her insistence of giving me the exact same thing
every single time,

but I try not to dwell too much
on the motivation of spiders.

It seems like the whole world
