Barreling

The limbs had the raw strength.
They were learning
to walk on the water.

The silver axe  
will hack off the neck
after the daunting recovery.

In gestational surrogacy, 
you don’t want
the incisors.

To kill a wanderer,
you need a howling-
wind, fledged.

A shoebox contains 
the handprints of a skeleton
and liquid eyes.

The hunger has a blue 
desire. A savage bite
will bring out the space.
