peanut husks

stick to

the cat’s bushy tail

•

•

•

deep in the garden

we miss potatoes

and onions

•

•

•

dusk

trees on the hills

allowed their shadows

•

•

•

before the petals

fall the rose

faces the ground

•

•

•

he seems sure

what if a hippo

fought a gorilla

•

•

•

floaters

or flies

hard to tell

•

•

•

though it’s balanced

the spoon wobbles

and spins

•

•

•

it’s not

intangible slots

it’s smelly boxes

•

•

•

dried lick

still visible

on the envelope

•
