ant5

in a jar with the receipts a dandelion missing a few petals

2006

empty streets at dawn a mouse darts back into a paper cup

2006

the iron water flat drink it it takes you there

2006

morning rain the liquor store open for deliveries

2006

the cork part of its insides pulled out by the screw floats with the leaves

2006

too late to convince you I didn’t know you were talking about eggs

2006

the smell of your fever one of the crocus blossoms filled with ants
