wu xian shen
.
my father threshes
the thin green grass,
sets it aflame.
our mother gathers
the cinders, mixes
a meal into grey.
here, a dish born
of a dying garden
:
my brother is the first
to eat he does not die
immediately.
so we follow,
joking about the smoked spice,
laughing until our tummies hurt:
one swelling
after the other.
we huddle around the shithole,
our faces wrung like rags
.
father leaves as we enter
the kitchen
where is he going?
she sweeps the quiet shards
of his anger.
I.
our city is a bed
.
a man tries to straighten the wrinkled
sheet of road gives up, sits down,
pans the street for change
.
the apartment building thrusts, phallic,
making love to an empty sky. a burst
of pigeons coo shut up shut up
.
a boy tries to fall asleep. his nightlight
is a myth that burns out once a day
.
the girl walks off her roof
.
.
our city is not a mattress
.
.
id like to think you broke my glasses to dull
the sharpness of these perpendicular horizons
i am sorry i stumbled through
(y)our disagreement into the wrong car
imagining the subway to ride upon
tibetan prayer wheels (yes my eyes
are that bad) i scrawled on
their tired skin and bumped
into several children on my way home
to apologize and say
union station is telling
god you still look beautiful
