Hannah Gamble – A Breakdown

Adam’s penis:

a small thing draped over

a thigh:

a larger thing being held up

by cherubim and pushed

down by a serpent:

nothing but five feet of belly

in the dust, five feet

of back to the sun with,

at the tip of these two sides meeting,

a mind, the best mind connected

to the best mouth in the heavens:

wherever we think we don’t belong

because of how good it is.
