After





After

 
 

god hung low on a twisted branch

a sliver moon heckled in the slant

of shadow boxes

a kid behind the neighbor’s house

cried through the crack

of an open window

i spit out a mouthful 

of pulverized pomegranate seeds 

an offering to the broken bones
 
of a long dead bird
