Two Poems by Matt Dennison

I Want the Wings of an Old Dried-Up Angel Draped Over Me

 

or the milkman

whistling his tune

 

inside a saddlebag

of foreign coins—

 

that kind of banjo.

 

 

The Preventing House

 

With father as vertical

/horizontal the mother

 

children are crucified

upon the parent cross.
