•

the twelfth chicken

back after

three days

•

•

•

the yellow petals

of the sunflower

dangle and shrivel

•

•

•

it’s the same

spider on

your head

•

•

•

morning clouds

I talk to the egg

as I peel it

•

•

•

even the goats

are tired

of the blackberries

•

•

•

folded up scrap

of paper could be

anything

•

•

•

a squirt

of blackberry

on your ankle

•

•

•

it’s the same if you

don’t know the name

of the moon

•

•

•

what others see

when the sun shines

through you

•
