my truest feelings keep disappearing

one-two-three, poof!

at odds with any action / reaction /

correction

brown grocery-bag tea-bags

of feathers and shells

none of it in High Plains regalia

Little did anyone know

the saint sprouting horns

had a Virgin M dildo

as her ballet partner

flying away on that Huffy bicycle

up the elm

to the top of the mountain

so far from any Ohio

up the career ladder

with the flesh remaining

a foreign shore

tell no one

your land was a body of secrets
