mirrors are wells in the desert
mornings are women with their head covered
pictures
are broken jars
breakfast on time is a ripped out page
a rock made her lip
so much easier to think of what to say
once
you're turned around walking away
thinking is thinking stops
thinking isn't thinking's knots
seeing with ears seeing
with numbers
seeing with lines seeing without permission
fighting is when under
also under was whether soup
earphones
connected to a portable brain cell
do you wish you could hear?
I wish you would and it was less so
just enough to
convince me
I should have some stupid wish like this
returning is leaving but faster
a chin painted from the side
a
face painted from the front
a cheek bone viewed from an angle
covered up eyes
painted within
not quite closing
front
doors she's a pin
to melt the string
decided to throw away
the cut off threads
they looked dirty
maybe should
have gone
frayed frizzled fed up
fathomed firm-paired fingers stopped
people study moths and flies, people go to
Alaska
underneath and inside cardboard
in my closet
sickle harvest wheat tractors school
is the same as mud houses
mulberries
on
holiday
off for a few days
spotted
drinking sap under a tree
sullen somber sunken slumber
sip sudden salad
certain
recycled and able
wasp in the cider
I was very cold in the shade
"tell me honestly, what do you think?"
a
well crafted trap to ensnare the sincere
I mean, I don't care so read this and then start
read this and then say
and
then say
but reasons can swim and have gills
and my reasons are swimming away
