ice on a wrist
after scrubbing
whole sets
of knives
-
in the bed
of a truck
on a lawn
a throne
-
you were not
born today so stop
acting out
-
for a gun, unscrew the handle of a water hose.
for a rope, find a rope.
-
brothers sitting
back to back
in an outside
bath
-
no, no whisper
to speak of
they are far off
they curse
-
any foot
a dead bird
blue
-
think a finger
reviving
a finger
puppet
-
think hard
on nothing
on a farm
machine
