creation myth

Your blind mouthed brother the tailor 
was pushing clients off his storefront 
with a broom yesterday
Did you hear the sound of brown leaves burning
outside your apartment window?

How can you say the night wraps me like a bedsheet
if i hide from you in it with wet shoulders slung

Your brother is closing the cupboard door
behind himself - unrolled spools on the carpeted floor
Spiders building lives between downpours

Call off the party
It's not à bientôt
It is a prohibition 
It was voted in
