imagine
what it would be like
to be ant!
she yells
scolding
we come home ecstatic
power
after burning ants in the front yard.
the color drains from my face
am I really killer??
I run to my room and shut the door.

when I met you
sitting ackwardly
on the grass
chasing the sunshine
remember that day in the park
where we first kissed
warm
under the blanket
and we both went home alone
remember that day in the park
hobbling with cane
black eye
street meat and kisses for dinner
remember that day in the park
where you left me
us both yelling and crying
peeling apart our tangled lives
the grasshopper
poised
slender wrists
ready to attack
she viciously rips off the head of her mate.

as they sit across from one another
at the cafe

when you think,
but it doesn’t make it out of your mouth.
feel the softness
feel the love we once had
feel the stabbing pain in my heart
feel.
muggy day
I breath in
your car
exhaust
biking
sweat drips
down my back
I am late.
the base boards sparkle
and I am in love
with my new house
clean
open
fresh
inviting
spacious
my arm is sore.
my mind is clear.
