the taste of tea we used to make more death

 

where tomorrow grows teeth under my pillow

 

finally unpacked the armadillo’s narrative

 

to the west of the sea glass eyes

 

the old belt Dad used to know the way home

 

laughing without shame winter takes off its fur coat

 

a desire to go backwards ruby slippers

 

obsidian waves a bouquet of flowers for the bling goddess

 

the stars we leave nothing unsaid

 

I too have been left behind toy soldiers
