the stone was never a stone

I push milk up the mountain of veins
the goat of my brain dressed in tin foil

my wife calls with dates available for my liver test
not the 29th, but yes the 30th, aug 3, 10, 11, 13

let’s coordinate with the eagle
also remember to book

the prostrate follow-up
is the heart like a fist

both clench around a stone
that was never a stone

last week a tree from our yard fell
onto the neighbours’ roof

smashed right through
ok, it’s settled: august 3
