A GRAVE, by TIMOTHY LIU Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: He was crying. Somebody get his mother | ||||||||
He was crying. Somebody get his mother. All day the exhumed bodies in trash bags. Men, women, dogs. Even a parakeet under a cross made of popsicle sticks with a name written on it. Not the meat. The bones the children leave after eating. Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
