soon after the death /
christians did not recognize one another /
a cave is quiet enough for prayer /
marry away from the world /
every finger given to wedlock /
the ghost throws confetti /
its toast is a whisper /
nonreturnable gift fills the table /
first and last thing on the registry /
there will be no house, no children, no anniversary /
that first soul flattened across the equator /
advertising quietly for others /
the abstract on earth /
for the kingdom arrives late /
claiming all the addresses as its own /
the shine on their waiting faces is blinding /
there will be more sons of man /
it’s our side hustle reversing the ideal /
turning air into brick
