The bodies have been thrown,
face down,
in the dusty, amber mud.
Their boneless chests
and pale, pearl bellies
hang
like dying vines
over silent hills–
with
arms outstretched
in praise of a master
both dead
and alive
in the heartless sky

Once,
I slipped my hand into the pocket of your winter coat
and found the stolen slivers
of a woman’s scowl.
I put back all
but
an eyebrow
that bends effortlessly into
ocean
and sky–
it can be pinned on
in naked moments to
erase
all signs of me.
and
Though it bites
with the dull pain of a rotting tooth,
I cannot bear to live
without it
“The Things We Keep” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse

lofty golden goals
lay down to rest
to stay
after taken tolls
after time
after soot settled shame
nothing else remains
