Scrunched down
The nose creating a strong shadow
With dark, straight eyebrows under the hat
Red and orange beard
Leaning forward at the café table, watching

They die of natural causes
and their tiny bodies are bent
as though landing on
a flower
Their wings seem

What we did was walk in on an amazing starfish convention, everyone lazing about, softly frozen against the timeless drooling currents like strange looking wind socks washing up and down with the sun. I am empty, hear me roar in blubbery bluster and…

They left their great need behind
When they were taken out of the country.

I wish
I had money
I would give it all to you
I would give you more than I could imagine
I would pull the fetus out of your heart
