hot on your back

waking
at midnight
to piss
on the sand dunes
and the sky overhead
like a badly

the washing machine
is a portal to clean linen
dishes lean back like sun
loungers by the sink

a chant begins
a loud doleful wail
smear my body in holy oil
adorn my head with your crown of thorns

My soles are gelatinous, a mixture of blood, and yoke.

I swirl my eyes inside the paint
tears forming at the edges of me

Underground, Hades and his sardine dead
reach their eleventh hour
THREE POEMS – Susan Moon
My mother packed eggs sunny side up,
Spam slices golden-browned to perfection
tucked into my lunchbox.
