                                                                  th thunder sunrise and from ocean tip
                                                                  my canoe was taken into an image of th sky
                                                                  that couldn’t be looked directly at

on a woodsy patagonia sleeve
I was a young child of no lineage
in sex dream
w/ an austrian goddess ( heavy cream breasts
and not much to eat but
killer whale figurines

while my father was locked out of th cabin
I saw angels hold back th gods on foggy coastlines

death was much to big to cure
by way I went to see him
            or how she died
            on a bed of ocean salt
            while I held my breath

                        sleep dead
                        to th youth
                        imagin

                               nation
                               of
naked
                               her

sleep
trembles
                               in breath supernovas

gallows from
th laughs of a husband
and a father in th throws of nature

shooting rapids         in golden canoes

thought of a wedding    in white water

th Austrian wife and I
sent to th cabin
in th dark she asked me questions
from her sleeping bag across th floor
I watched her breasts in th moonlight
while th men drank when I was 9
