Water from the Trees
We all cried for the fires. Especially the people who paid for them, realizing their guilt.
Our saltwater tears put them out. They shielded us from the sun, caught the bad dusts, and sunk them. The Earth swallowing our mistakes, on the promise that we had learned.
The trees, so moved by our changes, cried back.
Redwood tears carve valleys.
Banyans refill wells.
They gave us new streams that move too fast for anyone to own.

Object Surplus for Union Journal
[Excerpt]
This is a picture of an abandoned swimming pool which has been filled with rain, algae, and frogs. The frog eggs float on the surface, disgusting but necessary. In this slimy excrement, you see a reflection of your insides, of your own eggs. What would be if I could see them directly and kill all mystery? Is it better to know the inner workings of your body? Or does knowing the details make more worry. Should we be given a choice as children? Hey, do you want to know about bones, aneurysms—lapses in your own genetic structure, or you can pretend you are just filled with jelly, blood, and bile, like in the good old days. Excretion is vile and vital, for homeostasis, emotions, and connection. All my sister talks about are blocked chakras and honestly that addresses psychosomatic illnesses more than any doctor I’ve had. You are born on Earth and they say “You are one of us. You are a /ˈhjumən/.” And like a frog that falls in a hot tub instead of a pond, you are cooked.

How do you say "mom" in english?
How do you say mom in English?
How do I stop my gums from wilting?
A reflection on ice,
you fading.
Dip your face in an ice cold bath,
run boiling water through your hair.
Through settling whirlpools you can see
that the grease is washed,
that this gifted horse will run away,
but for now hold on to its reins.

The Ship of Fools
Somewhere on the Ship of Fools
my thumb fell off.
I invented a reason, but I knew
that the ties between leprosy and folly,
in me, at least,
remain.

Bulldozers
There are bulldozers on the moon
run by burly men.
They dig through the translucent flesh
pulling up marshmallows
and leaving pools of caked blood.
From down here they form a rabbit.
