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