| the dead living girl |
| by David McLean |
| “don’t let me be alive, i’m dead”
she said “though you assemble memory for me like paper in a rain cup, or dreams posted in god’s hairy box we lived in and love sinned singing its paternity in letters postmarked heaven” yet horses stand still patient in the rain that recorded us, cupping hands to recollect its reasons placid as mastery and witchcraft for they have forgotten to bury us packaged for the worms, death’s wrinkled retainers tracing the slow flowing decay to dissembling heaven’s defective retention, their letters filled with these grave graphemes evil as any other meaning, words that return to their first worst eternity, written on stretched sinning skin and delivered by the devil. |
