• #031: Spur

  

  Today Spur inscribed An invite onto the skin Of the wind, it read: Meet me by the lucid woods Bring your books, we’ll read awhile.

  Those double doors One swinging out into the wind, its hinges can’t tell them nothin’: “I’m a hover board now” The other: sweating summer, soul scraping, shoulder’s chafing at the frame, sayin’ “Well someone’s gotta hold the house.” Will you hold your mouth or post that letter?

• #027: Tack Stains

  

  On the wall that supports my desk My hands, my head There are etchings of flies drawn by phantom children (Or post office own-brand white tack If we were in the business of being honest) White tack used to hold up A scratch (no sniff) map of the world That kept collapsing to the ground…
