  • acid rain

    unfolding origami
    i wonder if
    gum foil unicorns
    feel forgotten
    before becoming
    crushed straw dogs
    underfoot while
    acid rain lovers
    slip down the drain

    next time, i say
    leave all folds 
    in place

  • of giving over

    shedding such skins as these is a
    matter of embracing one's agonies
    even when the fit has gone dodgy
    back before time's mists rolled in

    clinging sores and calloused regrets
    linger in the tenderest of spaces, so
    it is best, face set to grimace, to rip
    and give over a hey, nonny, nonny
