DEFINED

By Ian Doumit

A house haunted by details is a home

do you remember when the yeast of me

devoured the starch of you

and he pursued a leg of cheap rosé

and he glanced away

A primate haunted by details is a person

A Human. Real. Person.

out where georgia okeefe rides a coyote

and each trunk of lightning is a y axis

across the x of the horizon

A moment haunted by details is a memory

And a number line haunted by memories is a life

And somewhere in there’s the Devil

but youre a second son and im just the firstborn girl

and our parents are still waging their wars thru our therapists

Sleep, haunted by details, is dreaming

And a haunted mind is the ghost in you

And every detail is a ghost made real

And this page is a haunted thing too

a polaroid wept a tear of grape
