Excerpts from Siphoned
All That Glitters:
I don’t want to remember
alcohol exhumed through her pores,
perfume withering underneath its pressure
a replica of my mother standing here
countless promises that god would save her
but he never came for us.
Fascia:
I smelled all the old houses
we’d been in,
paint and clay
in a small tube of lotion /
In the pipes,
might linger,
promises our parents made in the day
and wishes we made in the dark.
