written for an 'instant poetry' challenge just a moment ago (the time
limit was 5min).
"nine"
nine sorry steps
snake soles over
a bridge of distance¯
tennis?
the dry shuffle of a dare?
I haven't watched the road
for days, I haven't watched
the snails on their eerie pilgrimages
for whole days, wait,
weeks.
they forget every inch they kiss
dirtily over, or are eaten
by stupid birds.
