((no vultures))
history text book or bruised apple
opened can of beer or conversation about MRSA
hair net or the apex of humanity
dead bolt lock blocks a lost tool belt
A quickening before a steady heart beat
surgical steel than malignant tumor
wounded crane or jagged window
repurposed paper shreds sparkling saltwater inlet
a mouse than a muffler
a bag of tarts or a melted opinion
a paper doll or a wind up doorbell chronicle
Prague mission after New York bodega
a pen vandalizes a notebook
because doing over done too

dead walk
Jenny Holzer created a peace memorial in Hauptplatz, Austria fifty years after the end of World War II.
rectangular white stones
direct the
ghost girl
along the garden path
her boots leave
ash foot prints
black tulips stand
irreverent, upright
Who lived in the woods
we are just as see through
as you the flowers
mock the girl
in the breeze
Her bobbed hair
stringy, gray before
her time
Who ran to the river
one sign of benign script
take a towel and bar of soap
come and slash
my throat is
more honest
a charade of stainless steel
shower heads a
secret welcomes to feel
death
Who died looking
what is born in you
will come out
and this makes
people want to kill
you
or to implement surgical steel
the tulips drop
petals
at the ghost girl’s
feet which skip back
into the lake
The beam of light
shoots into the night sky,
disappears at dawn.
Whose thoughts are missing
