the thundering rain.
drenched in opportunities.
paper towel in hand.
between the cracks
the fragile young hope
cradled like a lady bug.
squashed by life’s sadness.
peerless
in the beginning
the world was a big oyster.
but now the pearl’s gone.
bipedal monsters
the white goose cackles
from behind the wire mesh fence.
blood on the wet block.
desperado
the desperation.
the ragged breath from climbing.
flagging the spirit.
jolly’s follies
you were fat back then
while i ate leaves and grasses.
jolly has now gone.
