Manipulated Chances
A soccer ball is kicked from a foot,
quickly rolling across the grass.
The grass understands the ball's duty,
and lets itself be flattened
from the glossy sphere.
It's trapped by a cleat
that rolls it away from others. -
Grounding roots
I gently sketch the branches
of a great pine tree.
I craft them to be delicate
but sturdy.
They hold power,
strength, and glory.
I draw the ground high,
so I can show
the roots that ground it. -
Codes Into My Flute
My fingers dance across my keys,
My lips bend into my embouchure,
And a soft note arises.
My fingers know what to do,
Shifting and caressing,

Copper Wires Entwining
I snip the wire, letting it fall.
The shard flutters into my hand,

Wristwatch
All along the ticking surface
All the sand along the edge
All deep down in long dry throats:
Fingers press.

The Law That Ruins Lives
I'm 13 years old
I have literally watched
States make it illegal
To get abortion

Making and signing
The laws
