Will they write 

my life in a sonnet next to where I’m 

stamped in black?


Why you Mr. Gargoyle, 

You, with your gong and 

long fingernails, tell me why 

every day is a dog year

and why the atrophy comes 

so soon. Itch my skin

like a scratch-off ticket

for immortality

when we talk about 

Brain-death,

black eyes, 

Some skate around it but I 

bang on the ice until my 

head falls in and the pond,

swallows me whole
