Kyle Brown-Watson: Make Us Clean Again
eduard-militaru-106237-unsplash.jpg

Church

nailhooks btween the rooftops
a hand in mine
five
fives

become ten becomes seven
tracing leylines in the oil
of our skin

Awash in a sunless sea
tired hymns and birdshit for
barnicles, chasing a half silver
torch to melt us to paste again
make us clean again

sometime red. sometime soon.
