my belly grows the size of a bag of apricots there is a will at the bottom of a lake that needs retrieving the car sank but the body made it to the shore and changed her name by midnight come springtime the ice melts and the water is back crawling upon shy ankles there are growing pains who find a home between nettles and the hives of adobe wasps i never could cohabitate with nature when they ask at parties where i've been things that are at rest stay at rest
