Always that way
Not saying the words
You already know
Horseface, Meatface, Pizzaface
You were not invented
You felt the need to find stale comfort
Hiding your likeness
The worst ailments in order:
Foundation, then roof, then shingles, then guts
Shared concerns
The fixing up of
All star-touched interior
Ivy over dead wood
Tibias and fibulas
Mostly strangled
From the source
Tourniquet clot, upside-down stroke, bees
And then there is your heaven
The patient mass that waited
God's landscape
A brilliant pastry-dune
Sanded plaster
After putting projects on hold
Muggy air
Disaster
Silence
All balancing against the reds and pinks
Of a terrible bubbling, a rash, an acne
