dear talking stick 

dear death rattle

dear scissors for snipping
sutures from the lips

dear bloodtide test
laying a severed
clam body on the tongue

dear vacuum dear words
suction void before
formation dear specks
of dust in a fabric bag

dear rabbit silent
screaming dear
prey animal desperate
to frighten the predator

dear car ride brake slam
fists on the steering wheel
choice between the sleeping
driver and the side rail

dear purple doorknob
jutting in the kidney
dear magnesium

dear whiskey dear rocks
dear slivered glass




dear dumb cane

dear brank(t)

dear scold’s bridle
