: Larva on mulberry :


the ants / in a line / march

                   the girl     she skips

handkerchief pinned to her chest
waterflask dangling by her neck
shadow falling / eyes falling
with a feeling ( & excrutiangly placed steps

                                    the 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?
