CHAD FORBREGD

DEATH BECOMES HER

Like rain

becomes a hearing aid
in darkness.

Let’s assume
she doesn’t mind

informal forms of address:

Heavy-eyed space heater,

a one glass girl:
drowning (in flame).

Something is wrong –

“Never quit”
is written on the grocery list (again).

Submerged

(naked
beneath an inflatable pool toy)

an areola exposes itself
beneath the porch light moon.

Stay away from lonely places:
Public pools or Sunday afternoons.

Life during wartime.
