Snoring.

Pious feathers

cover

every curl

the love is there

because

I turned you into a story

right through

every clerical vein

ingesting the reversal

eyes closed

in

a bone soft attic prayer

the extent

of my marrow

miscarried across

my grip

loose as clothespins

you

with no idea that

you

are the answer

with raincoat

tipping the pitcher.
