8 | We found your [shirt][] deep in the dark water, \ | ||
9 | caught on the clothesline of sleeping pills. \ | ||
10 | Your head on the shore was streaming tears \ | ||
11 | like sleeves or the coronas of saints saved \ | ||
12 | from fire. The burning bush began crying \ | ||
13 | like a child who misses his mother. Traffic \ | ||
14 | slammed shut like an eye. God's mean [left hook][] \ | ||
15 | knocked us out, and we began swimming. \ | ||
16 | Bruises bloomed like algae on a lake. \ | ||
17 | Your [father][] beat your chest and screamed \ | ||
18 | for someone to open a window. The air \ | ||
19 | stopped breathing. Fish clogged its gills. \ | ||
20 | Birds sang too loudly, trying to drown out \ | ||
21 | your father's cries, but all their sweetness \ | ||
22 | was not enough. No polite noises will be made \ | ||
23 | anymore, he told us, clawing your breastbone. \ | ||
24 | He opened your heart to air again. Camels \ | ||
25 | flowed from you both like water from the rock. \ | ||
26 | God spoke up, but nobody listened to him. \ | ||
27 | We hung you up on the line to dry. | ||
