still glowing

the rose outlasts

the irises

•

•

•

eucalyptus seed

can’t cause

any harm here

•

•

•

Kuan Yin

the wood lighter

where it’s chipped

•

•

•

in a box

tchotchkes

for your tomb

•

•

•

national park

don’t have sex

in the bathroom

•

•

•

no the dogs

let the flies

in

•

•

•

a trail of tissue

specks each spotted

with blood

•

•

•

rumbling clouds

whip up

the swifts

•

•

•

the tips of

the grass stalks

sway across the sky

•

•

•

patches of blue

the rain still

falls
