Musty river I will take
the spackle of your kiss
on every sore
In the eyes it shall sting most
Observer on a slick rock
in January I sever myself
from whomever in her cold grace
commands the nod the crinkle
this white brain of ice floes
upending me in the shallows of sleep
I see the mother writhe in childbirth
too weak to smooth the gnarled sheet
that fastens her to bed
Musty river I will dredge
your belly of toxins
I will drink them in
