2 poems by Jordan Hoxsie
hygiene
crisp apple hand soap
draining in the sink after
the crucifixion
californication
destiny is what white people
whisper at night
to bore their demons to death
to keep the sheep fed
and plump with confidence
it is the feather left
on their tongues
after they fuck another angel
in their dreams
after they crowdsource heaven
to look like a snowstorm
large enough to bury their hatchets
after they come so hard
a bald eagle is the new centerfold
scalping prices on the next plantation
on the new luxury swimming pool
that was once a glacier
