Then it came to me, my life. I remembered my life
the way an ax handle, mid-swing, remembers the tree.
& I was free.

corpses I lay
side by side on
the page to tell you
our present tense

reader I’ve
plagiarized my life
to give you the best
of me & these words these
insects anchovies

reader who
cannot read
or write you wrote a son
into the world with no

because you were starving but

found with only two hands
Aldair Apodaca
has quoted
last year
I made a killing
in language & was surrounded
by ghosts. I used my arsenal
of defunct verbs & broke
into a library of second chances,
the ER. Where they bandaged
my head, even as the black letters
kept seeping through,
like this.
