Cave Canem: A Special Section

we name her took sick

who took sick      up and died turned for the worse got robbed      put out fell on hard times        maven

daddy shies from her in his ailing monk minded fears sick talk makes it so her      i just saw him yesterday      wake whispers worry him

she jumps the gate on the mailman’s back condolent plants a hairy eyed misery muse      how you feel?      that silences daddy’s forehead bar coding untomorrows
