woke up new / limbs less / charred & / hot
head hot collared / lightning bugs wink / in out / the mountain’s
curve / can you stamp / out the cinders / extinguish the spine / can you kill /
each light / jimmy the switch the dead / outlet suspended /
in danny’s room / whisper honeysuckle / golden tea kettle / a star
a clenching / an empty barn / they won’t hear / you unfurl
your jaw / unlax the hips / bones snap / under
such stress / hairline fracture / hair tousled
below fireworks / girls are thumbed /
into women / bad lilacs bloom / in heat
they wonder / who mothered this / devastation
this smoke / whisper arson / begins with an itching / a mount
