1: The Pigeon and the city
Sure, let’s stand on the corner.
Grow,
Your beak demands bread,
So grow.
Whoever told you, lies,
An architect of you
IS implied.
You are in this city how I was once in a womb.
2: Rooster
This is my Rooster.
Sit on the bench
Here, he’s ancient.
I find it an honor
He’s so aware
That I am here.
If I could read his tail
It’d be a Dinosaur novella.
3: Getting to know Ame
Gentle Ame on the sidewalk,
Let’s talk.
I carry sheep fur.
Should it be
A cumulonimbus coat
Or my beard for now?
Cup my chin and
See how well we fit.
Regardless,
I am not the best porridge in the house,
Little bear.
4: The unreliability of memory
Flying saucer;
Land here,
Next to the dark
Beside the car.
My fingerprints do
Cover you.
As though I grew
You in my garden.
Pruned until proper
And I saw my face.
5: My dying Egyptian cat
You’re a good cat.
Can I be honest?
For your next win
Death will breathe you in.
Pyramids and kings
All need skins
Just like yours.
I must ask,
“What do you think of your newest free son, King Tut?”
