a boy named jane
Dear Dementia
Before Quiet
The hallway is a koi pond each
creak cocks the buckshot &
shotguns ripples downstream
bopping shells onto my landlord's
pillow the koi flops around &
bends back its spine might just
snap it couldn't snap fast enough
why would someone put fish
up here I hear her shouting
underneath the pond but it is
too muffled I start plucking
lily pads out the water to make room
for her language I do it the same
way between my eyes I just
pull till something breaks &
something breaks it is her ceiling
& all the fish flush into her arms
but I still can't hear what she's saying
seems the koi have settled into
quiet & the hallway is drained.
