through the Iran-Turkey border:
heavy backpacks,
boots in silt and mud,
in tepid sweat and urine,
tongues wooden,
skin cut by thorny bushes and barbed wire,
bleeding.

To impress that girlfriend I borrowed her big brother’s Norton 500CC, a machine like Che Guevara rode, hot hands clasping my chest, blazing into a stun of wind.

Peering into the eyes of a child
stressed, is a mirror shattering
six inches from your face teasing

Before the daily visitation
I sharpen a lily’s stem on the stone portico
to record the dictation of my defects.
