•

they make

a bad movie

nightmares at dawn

•

•

•

spring light

white behind the flower

covered hill

•

•

•

the dog who can

barely stand guards

me in my chair

•

•

•

vacuuming

she mutters about

spider karma

•

•

•

the smaller pots

on the surface

their soil lightens

•

•

•

the phlebotomist’s

snake tattoo

ends at her wrist

•

•

•

they scrape

out the eager

bits

•

•

•

finally

a tiny robot

enters my body

•

•

•

hills drift

beneath wisps of fog

over the river

•

•

•

first of April

we destroy it

to save it

•
