Mars.1

Mars.1

                                 to be                                                                                                                                                         
                              gone a
                constant desire
        embarrassed for the
  giant leaning in for love
  we had enough
of
  the dance number but                   the whirling begins
                                       it just starts
                                       silos full of air
                                       no more corn
                                       no more wheat
                             watching myself for
                             full details in a strange man’s pants
                       we let
           the soldier board the plane
             shot in head three days later
              why are you angry you said
                why are you not I said
