instructions for an e string

apply tension, strike with thumb for bass- like tone. do not discard. recoil and store. snake through water line to dislodge sediment, restore flow.

kindergarten

how do we choose when our choices don’t agree? creative mind encounters a cliff. flip a coin? assign a value? surrender? to stand or leap: just this.

city boy

white silent wingspan bird of prey (owl? hawk?) neck tightens. mind snaps clear. i’m caught, ashamed, without a name, like so many childhood walks.

the shaved

repentant narcissist. flagrant hand- pocketer. half-frozen flag. imprecise interpreter of landscapes. here we go again.
