A garden slug
As caulk between my teeth.
D’oh!
■■■
Spraypainting
A
Dull
Washed
Wall
Again & again.
Guerillas dismembering someone in the mountains.
■■■
I am tender towards
My children
And potatoes.
■■■
The straydogs hate
My saxophone. Ha! —
I’ll outlive them.

A baby meets an anteater in the hills. December mist.
