venison
raze
from
far
enough
away
, crabgrass jutting
out
of
cracked
concrete
can
be
a
bird
waiting
to
be
born
.
a
scattering
of
stones
might
be
remade
as
a
blister
pack
of
pills
torn
open
and
given
to
the
ground
. luckless clover
becomes
a
tepid
meal
for
tired
eyes
.
shadows
shift
and
show
you
shapes
you
can
only
compare
to
people
you've
known
and
wished
not
to
know
.
you
can
see
your
whole
life
in
the
veins
and
venison
of
a
landlocked
leaf
.
then
watch
it
leave
you
,
carried
on
the
breath
of
the
gutless
god
who
brought
you
here
and
stripped
you
of
everything
you
thought
you
were
.
