BEFORE GOING TO SEE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES

narcotic is the lighter or my chemical breath

i am a breathing fuzz

coo at my chest the verb of us being an odor

a purr under emerald needle

clean the water off my eyes w ur tongue

i am a decision the size of sawtooth

a disgusting mess of stone

a way to disguise death w not existing

this is a river

god is this river 

nogod is a piss in this river

lost in the clearwater

you the guided hawkflight

or hand extend for falcon

my boat to the center of 

my child face

mouth open for the air

the mounds of moved earth

what is molten above ground

we a whisp a flutter 

a deluge of no time

no comfort to waste

a new mountain

a new valley

a new prairie

this is how a river is
