Curved Walls
I know the rules and rights are
The same:
For boys and girls
And everyone in between,
We are supposed to stand
On the same uneven ground,

Really:
When we cradled our violins
And swept our bows through the air,
Giggling as we peeked into the holes

Wildflowers in This Breeze
All skin
Is made up of the same cells,
All eyes
Reflect the same stars,
All lips
Dance around the same meaning,
And even if they don’t work,
All hearts
Are connected by the same strings;

Is to hand them your heart,
Engraved with scars,
Dripping with roots
Drenched in buds
Thrumming with the pulse

In the way that poets

Most likely to

While sitting down
Most likely to
Speak
Without making a sound
Most likely to
Laugh
So nobody cries

Secret Berry Farmer
berry bear
or red fox
glowing in the always night-
always like a charm
always like a home
glowing berry skins
nail polish flakes
acid on the tongue of a
black bear
or red fox

"Who's smarter?"
"Who's the favorite?"
