announcer’s last call—
saying goodbye
with trembling legs

unsigned—
Santa Claus asked to bring
a mommy back

first bell—
school girls brag about
their summer loves

alone at the park—
familiar magpie
faces

piss on the bed—
grandpa begs
to help him die

no photo—
searching for her son
in broken English

park bench all his food already chewed by someone

smell of soup she waits in clothes just found

coldest night the brothel’s door half-open

as if dreaming the cocoon shakes to give birth

unpacking some of her hair brought along

endless rain the few whores die for eye contact

closed brothels—
on his death notice two
possible birthyears
