Anamnesis

one day in the future 

he will forget the past



the sun trawling the spar of his neck 

dirt felled into a wheelbarrow



gears sluice with groundwater and machinist’s oil 

the truss eaten away like felon bone 



a faulty transmission 

primer squalled beneath yellow touchup 



the game winning touchdown  

my mother’s tears gated with rain 



a child’s wan cry

knees skinned for the first time
