unearthing cross
of bones

not far from hole
a home

recedes from
sunny
side

of street for
relief

worms between
sheets.

no longer entranced by
dancing to
crash..

..land in
handshake

behind screen too
bright to be
seen.

tasked in haste
to hatch
but

shell won’t
crack

while under
attack.

virgin to this
texture

of
pleasure

not born of
need
to

flee come
dawn

unfolds like
crown

of sparrows at their
most calm

whenever in
song.

may solace bless
your soul

dear uncle
Ant

dreams but
can’t

drag the clock
black.

salved by moon like
mother’s
milk..

mustache at PJ
picnic

kiss of meadow mist
on blister
tree,

trilling every word
to honor
bird
it

feels only
i see.

on mad quest for
porridge

armed with pot and
bottomless
spoon

and with fervor of
such research

my gut shall be
mush by
noon.

she welcomes freedom
with tears
sheen

like shoreline
of stars

not seen as bright
through
bars.

relieve raw tickles
my tonsils

from fury’s fumes
guzzled

when too frazzled to
refuse time’s
muzzle

pet or words
run red.

i fidget not to
flinch

when photos
find me

boxed in crotch of
crawlspace

damp from dreaming
ducts clenched

thru x-ray
flash.
