:

snow from Xmas still painted on the porno shop

:

thaw before New Year’s silverfish in the bathtub

:

three lentils in the beach bathroom drain

:

my son says I’m not playing I’m having fun

:

at the doctor we divide by two subtract one

:

the button I sat on falls to the bus floor

:

drawn to the lollipop ants sizzle in the sun

:

panties tossed on the melon rinds wet in spots

:

over time the little steps take us far away

:

my brother I don’t really know it’s his birthday

:

hoofprints on the beach seaweed entangled with bones

:

morning the bathroom empty except for my razor

:

you write a list I let your tea steep too long

:

with a book of matches you know how many are left

:

lit by the window sawhorses covered with snow

:

the corner where the blackbird attacks a rag on fire

:

deep in the river a tiny moth leaves my head
