open early

the tulips catch

you off guard

•

•

•

where the train passed

mist curls up

into the blue air

•

•

•

hearing the news

the octopus

hires a lawyer

•

•

•

parting the tulip

petals at its base

leaking pollen

•

•

•

the blue shoots

of the leeks

tall above the rough grass

•

•

•

heady scent of tulips

a wet dog nose

against my ankle

•

•

•

the strays

can’t be bothered

in the heat

•

•

•

the metal bits

of your underthings

clink in the dryer

•
