I pulled out a fistful of pines
and gargled some green air,
finding ways to pass the time
as nothing changed around me.

This Too Was Once A Valentine

A girl once touched me
and I touched her back,
pressing my palm
where the tangle gets ugly.
It was Valentine's Day,
so I bought her
a salt lick
and now she's
licking her way
to an early fame.
