loons riding on their mothers backs
hungry cat sounds like a dove 
soon the babies will  learn to cry haunted woman
howls across the lakes

yesterday we watched the crows 
tear their sibling apart, birds and humans screaming
and watching, we could hear it as we

kept going

biting down the apple’s scalloped snow
seeds fall out the giving ribs

take away and away

scrub the walls in rust circles, swastika in certain 
angled sunbeam, hole from a fist smudge from
a foot, pencil love spell for 

a ghost 

the wet core spins like
a dreidel jack, then falls into 
its heap 

last rites out the window 
spark in the seed
this dying toyota

i used to dream my teeth came out
in righteous apple bite
then, so stoned i actually 
got stuck

waiting now for car and teeth
to brake before i get to 
fixing  

away and away 

blanket out the window
to dream awake some vital
death 

away and away

to the offramp 
secret garden
