teller diminishes me to
little dog bone ashes.

you have to push the button and run.

non-judgemental smiles

eat frog legs sticking out.

appologize and stutter for him

again.

Naked at her wedding,

my diamond removed.

she gloats to cover

my awkward standings

silence. clicking.. silence. clicking..

data entry punching down my collarbone

i held so high.

former existance paper trails at length.

these eyes lowered have found a reason

to pick a heron balancing diversion on one

leg.

audubon gives reassuring gestures

but only for so long.

the wombs cry out to

me sleep between fruitloins forever,

or for moments like this.
