nemotoad parentheses
a life spawning poison
and jackrabbit tremors
bracketed by desires
which cannot be named
rift of enlightenment
and the waters opened….
see red / red sea
savage cut / raw diamond
moiré pattern shadow
cascading motion pool
shadow of the mountain
a friend to the end
you’ll never come back
border fetish lullaby
erudite torture
blackmail crow
over familiar
blackened bone
unwitting agenda
black hole migrant
failed attribution
spic nigger jew
identity parade
subject to confiscation
all day the phone rings
subject to confinement
wind change direction
faces stuck looking home
