BIG LOVE RODEO



If you were a kind of nest,
you'd be an open window.
You were saying something
about Sweden being a solar
system then you pointed out
the Martin houses. I imagined
all your words on red paper.
Sometimes though, it's no use.
The steam pipes are full of steam.
You're still all the animals.
I miss you. I saw you this
morning in a wall sketch
posing as a boat framed with
a pair of peep holes.



How to Talk to the Transformation Witch



Which moon

tickled your haystack,


honey? Remember,

you're lucky. Most


old galaxies look

like train wrecks.
