The lone gymnast
bungee jumping for its prey.
Sharp wind licking paint
from the old barn.
A child steals frosting.

Phoenix
Dawn climbs the crumbling store facades
Nimble as a hubcap thief.
In the Laundromat,
I yawn and stretch,
Conceived in blackness.

Greasy chairs, tripping ninos
Half-there rotting smiles,
Baton Rouge boys
And a free taxi at down,
Like an hors d’oeuvres tray, gracious—free.
