I risk

looking at

your fingers

•

•

•

you should

spit out the nut

that tastes like iron

•

•

•

tulips

heavy with rain

snap and open wide

•

•

•

in the back

but not the front

it’s raining

•

•

•

it only

takes a day

crepe myrtle in bloom

•

•

•

she says the ants

in the honey

aren’t lost

•

•

•

wet footprints

on the floorboards

what I’ll leave today

•

•

•

you lose your fingers

in the shadows

in the nut jar

•

•

•

half moon at dawn

the body language

of tulips

•

•

•

their shadows

come first

a flock of geese

•
