: Larva on mulberry :
the ants / in a line / marchthe girl she skips
handkerchief pinned to her chest
waterflask dangling by her neck
shadow falling / eyes falling
with a feeling ( & excrutiangly placed stepsthe ants are a snake )
of how ants feel under the shoe
( ants thinking of the dust under theirs )
more sunrise marble eyes / clanging waterflasks
split the ants into worms
deserting skin / molting
: cocoon :
the teacher whistles &
the girls / in a line / march.
( in today's origami lesson
a fake japanese woman
teaches us how to make a
grenade & how it is no
enemy of the wind &
is wet by rain )the boy / with his face in the corner
tears / into ears / of the wall.
what will happen when he bursts, the cocoon cleaved open?
