tears

what are these things?
eve asked adam
coming from your eyes?
they look like water
she said

i don't know
said adam blinking
they don't taste like water
and it feels like my eyes are burning.

then eve said to him
look
they are coming out of my eyes too

Adam and Eve is a story, but it's a true story. Imagine how they felt they first laughed! Ma'm

reasons
for matt

words that have destination
after thirty-nine years
richochet desolation

fingerprints i felt
first with lion mind
then palm against paper

carrier pidgeons
with pinon, a blue
umbrella, ancient

ivory sea rocks
coded in forgotten dna,
bound paper for remembering

an owl lifts from one page,
stares down a landing spot,
here I’ll stay
