Famotidine

Ulcered and heaved,

your snap

out of it

snapped from the corners

bolts and sheets

and light of undone

white,

your angel forced

to pretend

what life might have

and somewhere

all your victims

and a plastic assailant

lurk.

Nothing defined,

the fog rolls out.

Silence

and windstorms

and emptiness blare

and throughout the albino prism

you find only

sawdusted anecdotes --

[You may have

any of the following:

Fruit juices (apple and grape

are good).

Clear soups or broth.

Clear gelatin.

Popsicles.

Avoid:

Alcohol.

Caffeinated drinks.

Dairy products.

Meat.

Other fatty foods.

Vitamins should be used

vitamins should be

started right away

you should be on

this diet

for a very short time

only when your

doctor

tells you to.]

Brittle over the

futon’s armrest

another brief, gentle

explosion

vague curses screeched

softer than

the sound

a decade sometimes

makes,

inclined to

the pale glaze

over your apartment’s

swallowing,

the last lonely chunk

of gut dissolves.

Take a glass, sip

sink your fear

neglect

your granular identity

your business

of dying

amounting to nothing.

Serve your greed

the gristled

shards of warm moon

burning above

the beautiful faithless

villages

your last winter

branch

ready to be

bludgeoned.

When it breaks

you will

grow

new limbs,

better than new.
