•

the graffiti

crossed out

with graffiti

•

•

•

lingering

sound of carbonation

a smell of blood

•

•

•

the ant’s body

green on the lip

of the glass bowl

•

•

•

trail of feathers

a red lump

by the fence

•

•

•

strange alliances

the back of

the refrigerator

•

•

•

pesticide residue

she only smiles

in her sleep

•

•

•

the tomato cage

can’t keep out

the cornflowers

•

•

•

the winter giants

need the slow trickle

of June

•

•

•

hot by noon

we give each

other’s things away

•
