what i did on my summer vacation circa 1965
they took me to the mountains to a cottage on a lake pond
marsh green algae globs smell of death’s door mild sewage
+slop how can a man with a badly burned hand drive a car?
son from 1st wife who died in a car crash turned the stove on
Eli sank his hand into the foodcaked coil flesh stink+incinerate
he was left with a blackish red snake stigmata
he married our simple cousin whose father drove the getaway car
Canada’s youngest bank robber pardoned by the King 10 yrs in
prison molested many of the girls+boys in the family interestingly
not me i had a father named Lee who would have disembowelled him
George had puffy cheeks + a garbled voice he’d sucked on a loaded
rifle sometime in his youth he always seemed really nice

Winter 2026 ..your family reads like a broadway play..
how does water not slide off a mountain?
how could they send me there with him?
