half moon parts my hair

                                we went AWOL years ago

                               a different interior location

                               we listen to owl songs now

                            another language made of many

                      does “long villain” mean cruel for hours or tall

                      almost got the             answer in their tapering voices

                                           thin then

                                           thinner

                                           a strong

                                           odor of questions

            meat aisle with grotesque in a can

cover him in glitter after sex purple and

                               gold in the rivers of it
