earth before books a belief
ace of blades face up chance
shadow and reflection work together
two derivations from an original
superimposed on someone else
imagination executed debased
unstable my speed corrections
slipping on parking lot ice waning
yellow moon climbing night
noodles curry sauce refried beans
ate eight huit wheat mit mitts
wake wanting to do some
not watch something good
read something some poetry
shower calm how i feel
sometimes wanting to tear
erections to throw flesh
to wild dogs ants worms
of recycling earth life
conflicting human rot
burrowing owl or cicada
unthinking eye caught épine
on dining room floor
french rose part appropriate
in reconstruction’s edit
from surgery human body
