      letters to a young undertaker

      You grew up with 30-plus

      Different dogs with names like “Little Dog” and “Latecomer.”

      (The time between being a puppy and being

      a dead dog is called “life.”)

      You will recall

      When you wanted to know what missing feels like,

      I said “hunger,”

      And you said “for a person?”

      And then you said “like cannibalism?”

      And then I said “yes.”

      I like it when I look out a window

      and can’t see any other windows. Ours is a simple joy,

      clinking glasses.

      So what if they demoted Pluto;

      it’s still on the rocks, and it’s also still

      neat to me.

      Dear life, thanks

      for being my life.

      Hubble glints out there like a pond, a proud American eye.

      Clinking glasses is how focus works,

      like a matter of fact

      of distance, like I like it when I look out a window

      and see you in the yard.

      It was a hard freeze we were up north there were fishhouses

      decorated to look like only fish or only houses there were kids

      grappling with a lot of candy my sister was there

      nobody cared about the wattage of anything the streetlamps were dull

      as knives in candle light it’s not just that your uncle

      was drunk it was everyone had a drunk uncle the fish float

      was built on a hay wagon dragging down the main

      drag throwing candy wet inside the wrapper your discomfort is contagious

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
