•

back of the drawer

a stick of gum

soft and leaking

•

•

•

the red tulips

aren’t really

tulips

•

•

•

spinning on

a strand of web

dandelion seed

•

•

•

the flies that left

with the dogs

here in the room

•

•

•

phantom ant

on my skin

again today

•

•

•

the spiders

decline to give

up the corners

•

•

•

the beetle

I shook away

I save with paper

•

•

•

they glisten as

they disappear

earth worms

•

•

•

two knives

and a spoon

in the sink

•

•

•

the flat world

outside turns

blue

•
