lyrics

#80

“Maybe I am dead.” A dot in the eye
of a bird seen in profile. “Blood from

my hands leaks into white porcelain
bowls filled with warm, salty water.”

I never felt the hammer’s claw pull
out the nails rusting in my sanctified

palms. “This is not a normal world.”
Otherwise, I’d be joyous planting

melons, harvesting melons, eating
melons: canary, cantaloupe, honeydew…
