Valentine’s Day

we eat

the nasty ones first

•

•

•

that’s what you get

trying to save

a centipede

•

•

•

slivers of apple

in the wooden bowl

holding their seeds

•

•

•

we cross the bridge

over the coast fork

into wood smoke

•

•

•

they’re not ants

she says

they’re sugar ants

•

•

•

the first daffodil

wilts before

the others show up

•

•

•

when we get

to frogs

we turn back

•
