ant5

•

where others

have slept beaten

down grasses

•

•

•

still waiting after

the heat and smoke

apples

•

•

•

beasts flatten

the grasses to

a dull silver

•

•

•

the narcissist says

the dying woman was

glad to see her

•

•

•

you wash your

pinkie to stick

in her tea

•

•

•

late summer

even for

the ants

•

•

•

in your niche

another

catastrophe

•

•

•

tomorrow

no band

aids

•

•

•

after you’re gone

we can’t help

the squirrels

•

•

•

we get a few

seconds with

the gold coins

•
