SON OF MAN SANS MAINS
i am drinking on trashbag
mountain near gutter
on central. praise
god, open mouth
god, praise god.
shelf by shelf
the wall collapses
raining bottles
that explode into oceans.
it's all wet &
sloppy–
the plastic around me;
stray dog;
found cell phone.
i want to swallow
the bad w/ the good,
catch a reflection;
a covenant with
mine eyes. my hands
look different when I drip
them all over me, look
different all over.
