"Tales of Exemplary Dogs"

1.
aboulia cilia filioque
i talked to them awhile
suppurating curtains
under the rubble

your stuff stacked out front
the door chained shut
the stretch limo coasts
to a stop at the five star rest'rant

my hands softening
in the hard water · in this flat place
a brand new birthday card
shredded unsent

2.
these shoes used to turn water
metallic trek joy
but not anymore

a brand new birthday card
a jet my clerk toil
shredded unsent

a bereavement
joke melts clarity
have lost the great outdoors
a lyric elk met jolt
shard of a whirling wisdom

ancestral
a jerky comet lilt
before cars had computers

frozen at freezing
metrical jet yolks
crystal do them desert

3.
poems
i couldn't get to the end of
before they changed · how many
have you deactivated
eight thousand seventy three
i've deactivated disarmed
eight thousand seventy three poems
