  • “Name your torture,”
    one of them said
    with a wink.

    I wanted an orchard
    but I swallowed the vodka
    he handed me
    willingly.

    “The Gorge”

  • this is your death stroll.
    you used to dress up for it,
    now you take it as it comes;
    easy, waiting but
    walking.

    I went from being a frozen tundra:
    algid, wide and growing fields of ground to cover with
    no visible tracks to follow

    unless the wind was kind and left
    the prints

    but it wasn’t often.
    taciturn but for some
    icy speech and bleak; 
    caustic prose in
    squalling breezes that freeze
    and stick to your cheeks,
    harden               bite your tongue
    in frostbit chomps so it takes a while before we completely cut those
    meek coughs off

    just as they start.
    before they form into spit,
    white noise, handwritten
    cards,
    I sprout into a raging sun:

    precocious and blazing
    hot, I become
    a long bending desert to
    warm you up:
    fields of sand to cover,
    infinite high noon run,
    no moon to come,
    hollowing the others with
    deprivation,
     promising mirages,
    a wide and weaving
    ever-longing
    desiccation,

    sudden sidewinders and a
    slow and draining
    drip that never hits and
    dehydration,

    never an inch of rain and you
    find every trap I laid.

    I start by slaughtering your brothers
    in front of you to see
    if you can stand it.
