People move the desert war contains.
Its jagged export has neither reset, nor sanctuary plugin.
And the ideation a history can be
To live time as unbelief strikes a chord.
A having fewer feelings than needed, eating at me.
It’s served love’s attrition with time
Best when I was alone: sober vision
Of a corpse riding me, pressed against her sex.
Christ is a call to the action of love.
The damage forgiveness does closes in on the vain.
I would do anything for you, friend.
The proof that nothing changes me will change me.
Matthew Moore is the author of the poetry collection The Reckoning of Jeanne d’Antietam (Nevada) and the translator of Opera Buffa by Tomaž Šalamun (Black Ocean) and Padova by Igo Gruden (Adjunct).
