raze the men i hate
and the animals
that mean the most to me
keep locking horns
in my nightmares
and sad-eyed prayers.

after a sharp fall
by the touch of a waterfowl.

in her womb for the better
part of a year
but never learned to love me
lays bare what she's baked

her bounty laced with nicotine,
nutmeg, and cloves.

the pastry's so simple, she says.
eyes in the sky all day.
