that son is undone
though wobble and shake
on that tornado day,
his dog knew his soul sat well away.

that sickening of swallows sang
“
when you believe in things you don’t understand
then you suffer
“
from burning barn bolted them horses superstitious
so they suffer
them horses born to bolt
his dog knew their souls in the nearby
her boy flatout unable to die
and her’s not that gift to proffer
