Look what can happen with ceramic,
wood, and sea-tumbled stones;
with pigments and sand;
with fabric, glass, metal, and sun-dried kelp.
With words, fledged

To Whoever Corrects Current and Previous Addresses (true prose poem)
I have been cursed with a curse! You see, I found the rotten corpse of a horse that presumably floated across the Pacific Ocean from Japan on the beach a few days ago.

Clutched walking sticks kicked from the
Tourist gait, all in gloomy imagination:

Laid onto discarded receipts for the
Chocolate chip cookie becoming the
Gravel chipped cheek

Three Poems
Feathers did not evolve for flight
