SISTER
SISTER CHRISTIAN
watching the fatted calves holiday in a
place faraway women with intense cleavage
cleave to waiters carrying extra crisp bacon
+ spanked children crawl willynilly
every unholy millisecond shattered by anticipation
of suffering a brother going down for the count in a
hospital nearby i find myself beggared +begging one
more once last time for daddy 68 this time for big bro 72
he clearly cleared for take off except no one will LISTEN!
going home his face now the boy’s i met when we still believed
we’d be together forever 11 year old brothers they stay
yet here comes the redheaded cancer doc with the skinnyneck
i grab him by said neck and shake the dweeb long +hard repeat
after me Abe: the survival instinct is strong in the naked ape we who
would gnaw off a hand to run from ghouls like you who charge 5,000
bucks for a shot of immunogunk a glue like substance to hold us fast
like the mouse caught in the trap (where food is free)
you doctor death afraid to say the word die only: pass will leave those
pristine lips pass the salt passover mountain pass with azure skies
where snaking lines of the dead wrest survival instinct fluttering in the
breeze nearer my God to thee
