Jonathan Hayes
The Killing Jar
She never saw a firefly:
Izod bodies in the dusk
Running across grass and Rockwell
Mason jar plot for all things in the dark
Year of the Ram
“Eat your noodles loud if you like them”
Chocolate and bananas from Chinatown
Seaweed conversation – Nietchze stuck in the teeth
“Sometimes the feeling doesn’t come back”
Burping on the sidewalk
Whistling in the library
Eating toast with a fork
Let’s went…
“You‘re a bird with no legs, unable to land”
Firefly in the jar
tonight
Diamond and Sneakers
absence of anaphora
calling you long distance
as we walk together
organic secret:
whisper to a hole in tree
cover it up with mud and leaves
milk eyeballs curdle the sky
a throat of hair and blood
a faucet of tragedy
chocolate psalm
goat song
New England blue
Rolling Rock and Schweppes ginger ale
a funeral in Gloucester
