•

bumblebees awake

from their daze

and wreck the party

•

•

•

the frogs have

nothing new

for you

•

•

•

new barn

paint on

the cat’s whiskers

•

•

•

if you believe

you made a mistake

it gives you control

•

•

•

we settle

for rotten

joy

•

•

•

a poem you wrote

on a napkin now

just a word

•

•

•

rust where

the clouds

brush the earth

•

•

•

the spare

candy bar with

the staples

•

•

•

all that’s left

of the envelope

the brass clamp

•

•

•

inside out

tennis ball in

tall weeds

•
