18. Castrati (2)

Castrati

Sing for the whole    for this world’s particular    apocalypse
Sing for the hole in the earth    for the end of the line
Silo filling with rain    earth filling with someone’s father

Sing for the whole    grain Sing    for the slow digestion of it
Sing for the thin trajectory of end long arc    a house
Made in the body’s    birch forests    Sing for the holy father

Half-father    step father    Sing for the high hiding places
Of children    Sing for the mother    the holy mother
The half-made    home Sing for the last one standing
