And Thats Exactly What I Did
you picked up the snake vertabrae
while i was sticking my toes in the
loops of my purse picturing the lake
you sighted some crested and
i flipped the channels got tails
three times in a row
ran out of rolls
you drove in the dark through an
industrial fog and i saw the sun
so clearly for the first time i cld
have wrote it in a book
but nothings lasting
and soon even the leaves will
change their story
i left my new notebook outside
the gas station by a sign read:
EAT OIL

The sun
rises through dry
tree leaves as the birds check
our feeder for seeds, leaving song
