HOME RUN

Would that I
could tap her
memory out of
me with a hammer

and a well positioned
nail from which to
hang nothing from
but blessed relief

The practice went
out of style I hear
Why Old Mister
Jenkins used to
do it for free

TEAR

when this poem
 fills up that
is when
it will
drop

CAUSELESS EFFECTS

loop of wire
unvisible
tightening

a wound
self-afflicted
bitten across
time lapse

in lieu of spreading
mold, portions of
flesh removed
