In veracruz, when the sun-smothering
water paved some paradise-stricken
road taut and then like undulating silk
When the terns zigged without zagging

I found out that
why is your birthday and who
am I to destroy your sandcastle
with my unfreedom

Jealousies

hello bumblebee
(how do i) socialize
and labor move content
meerkat ant termite mound
tells me go and i sent
seek find protect die
and so simply

hey chameleon
overwhelmer of eyes
with such terribly free
jaguar cuttlefish arctic fox
snow grass light mystery
(how do i) unsight
mind-unsummon

dear elephant
gray-thick weight
of (how do i) strength
unstoppable immovable peace
and life what of length
nostril makes fate
lay so dormant

greetings cicada
i want mostly to fly
and burst forth with wings
bat-leather feather sheen green
luna moth helicopter-song'd
hummingbird (how do I)
imitate unladen
