The people will need    bare necessities: bread, milk, tea:

The mother will look across a lake
& see only glossy       water,
the small rowboat that carried her son.

The surviving brother will hallucinate
a vast billboard on air, lit with
his lost other, twin: neon dots of blood: what has been done.

It was a
relationship like whirlwind.

The boys were
hillbillies
in that neighborhood.

The cast-off jacket & gear gather dust:
arsenal's been opened   under the Jesus clouds
                while night unfolds like a rose
The clay cries:          Mutiny follows.
