Pick off plaster under painted finger nails
pluck each hair to the
follicle
salt the earth salt my scalp
caked in the sticky film of wild onion and
chlorophyll
he stuck a dandelion into my open mouth.
Annelids and collected pop tabs scattered across cracking cement make lovely moldings for weathered
feet
sipping Lipton nectar search the stones for smoothness
rip down the canvas and
fray each dampened stitch.
Lift the lid of the old coffee ground can
and choose
your cutlery
wisely.
