:

a love letter to the butterfly gods with strategic misspellings

:

:

avoiding definitions we stroke the tender leaves of the maple

:

:

later you realize it was actually a part of your own body

:

:

where the lines end and the absence begins an architecture or so

:

:

parked ahead of us someone watches the air a syrup

:

:

the rain drips quickly on the white pavement lowfatdeathcamp

:

:

Anorexia plus Silicon

June gets a bruise

then it starts to rain

:

:

twilight those children shout the names of their dogs Freeway and Tequila

:

:

spiders settling in where my habits where away the edges

:

:

I meet the twin she

never mentioned the mist

lit briefly by the sun

:

:

which part of me gets which part of you suddenly it’s spring

:

:

dusk turns gray and

hazy and breaks off into

several angry girls

:

:

leaf shadows on

the ground sway from

the secrets of war

:

:

all the sticks

sharpened differently the moon

has stained your gloves

:

:

she’s reaching for the red

chicken something passes

in front of the sun

:

:

when the rain stops

you find me in the apple

packing my bags

:

:

things I did with my hand show up as dead skin

:

rain drops drip around the fingerprints on the glass rough tear in the seat

:

green at the close of winter a broken crate in the empty train car

:

are you asking me because it’s your job or because you want to know?

:

twilight those children shout the names of their dogs Freeway and Tequila

TEN HAIKU

:

by streetlight ants crawl out of the slot in the meter

:

in the blue of his eye some wires and behind them clouds

:

covered in graffiti the train car passes quickly through town

:

the faint shadows on the paper made by creases in the paper

:

all the color has settled to the bottom of the bowl

:

cold spring rain snail in its beak the crow blinks

:

a bead bounces on the linoleum she said it wouldn’t hurt

:

crushed by a tire the yellow pencil fans out from its metal end

:

briefly green from the copier two faces speaking to each other

:

rain dripping from a light bulb a car backfires
