Impossible Task
Rennie Ament

Turn on the day:
dead vole in the grass
with blood on its rump.
Ban prepositions: they force
the interrelatedness of things.
Push all far apart.
Vole from blood.
Mind from blood.
From from from.
Impossible task,
I love you. Dead vole
in the grass, I love you. If only
there was an inch of space
between my face and mud.
