toddler has sandstorm tongue
toddler is moon light
dying on century plant
toddler says dogs aren’t helpful
a‘cuz they got no thumbs
gritty verb from the lungs r rr r rrolling
every subject over mourning dove lips
r rr r rrolling over rusty little fingers
i am shadow-object-husked-out yucca-shoot
blown away piece and sliver and pierced
by silver light my silhouette a beating heart
it’s true thumbs are unexciting compared to hearts
lots of things are like that these days
so many things are like that these days

About Me
A poet-chef living in Denver, Co. I use the orange Aquafresh toothpaste, off brand mouthwash, and those little floss picks.
