•

they didn’t tell you

tattoos

are instructions

•

•

•

on the patio

flies circle her

while she sleeps

•

•

•

the spider

accepts the washcloth

to escape

•

•

•

mixed together

in a vase the roses

seem fatigued

•

•

•

dropped into the pot

the sliced potato

keeps its shape

•

•

•

at the last minute

I look at the face

of the mouse

•

•

•

noisy baby goats

nowhere

to be seen

•

•

•

passing us quickly

the girl says

“I have pink shoes”

•

•

•

some day

they’ll stain your hands

blackberry blossoms

•
