winter poem
mouth open
letting snow cover my burial plot
of words
& fingers too cold to dig
the tongue out:
frozen corpse,
the stature of teeth chirping
a ruptured poem
we seeded him holy
you'll find him in a chair
sequenced
gay is vandalism
we used white rags &
smoke to purify him
to bleach the sin, to poach the black resin
from the heart-skin
to bring him
right
by rules of man
his arms & ankles tied
crosswise
the naked body a rosary
bead tucked in each wound
how we bury fish
motionless in my womb...
i remembered
my fish - i was eight.
it was floating belly up.
i tapped on my stomach
as a mother – a little girl
trying to tap her fish
from sleep.
i gave birth to a stillborn.
my father explained to me
how we bury fish: i heard the toilet flush
behind my sobbing.
