a well can be fracked three times
before everybody’s poisoned
Mother
i’d rather you did something else
center
the
kid
from florida
injected with hormones
during the crucial, early months
paying her way through grad school
boys these days don’t know anything
but fracking
frack in the roads
frack all day
frack through the night
frack in my front yard
pimp
profiteer
prey on dreams of
a nose piercing
a dress with sequins
more money than dad makes
what did she promise you?
She
built that home
not with her own hands but with her own money
you can’t believe a woman like that
She
promised me happiness
laughing at the absurdity of it
it’s her body she loves
skin clear and smooth
tongue dry and swollen
teeth a wall of smoke
the arrogance that can lead a woman to
everything
She
killed because she wanted
for money
fifty grand
that kind of money
on the news
rising infertility rates
girls too young to be boys
kids who drank down lead
methane in the shale
in the river
murder was not
the plan
She
was good at it
talented
drowning herself in
community
stupid
naïve
Liar
guilty
wither your athletes
dissolve your girls
forget the toxic flesh
She
will be gentle with herself
it’s a good year to be a surrogate
