I am turning into
mega boy of the country.
When I go to
parties, I no longer drink wine. I ask for a
mason jar filled with moonshine and fertilizer.
My dogs are all
sleek and strong in the limbs, they eat things I cannot identify.
It struck me how
beautiful male mosquitoes are when they’re dead, wings like glass yarn, their
patterns subtle microchips.
My dogs encircle
me, they protect my problem.
My wife left 3
weeks ago and it’s reached that zone, the one where you don’t come back.
My children are
out climbing, swinging from the topmost branches of the trees.
