[Our letters were like inventing the steam engine]

 

Our letters were like inventing the steam engine

So one morning in a derelict station
Someone could open a café

To sidle is a motion bringing one closer regardless
Letters like strawberries on a plain cloth

I stay on the smaller balcony
Pull the curtain around the gardenia

There’s a lemon under that bowl

 


 

[Bicycle in vines]

 

Bicycle in vines

Child singing with mouth against the window
A way of seeing out

Shh somebody says, so she begins to whisper-sing
How does it alter the view

If I eat everything walking, can I make the river
One with small pockets sewn on an orange skirt

She and I’ll be at the river
