a key that doesn’t open anything
a flat bone to spread butter on metal
a rusty jug of coins vomited then cleaned
a miraculous escape from the fossil record
a book of corrupt chambers
a detailed diagram of the inside of the moon
a crisp whisker frozen then kept
a dance for statues
a script for the bluelipped
a box of expired candy hearts
a cramp in the side when exiting the theater
a missile defused and painted pink as a pig
a jawbone of an ancient vengeance
a star a corridor a door stained with words
a ghost in a pope costume sulking in the lobby
a bowl full of expensive teeth
coriander and brushfires in a straight row
mechanical love like a path of gold minnows
corduroy steps down into the lower boats
a long gap spanned with a leap
a mossy door under the lake
a copper key slick as night
and no hole in the water’s
music
