roaches scuttle under moonlit sighs,

its gaze halfway between hunger and apathy,
as food spills—moldy bread,
booze-slicked...

without uttering a...

It was a long summer and the bees did their job,
For the trees were filled with apples, hanging like little knobs.

At Three O'Clock In the Morning
AT THREE O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING
trucks toil the city’s streets,
a minuet of practiced precision,
to the pulsating rhythm,
to the incessant beat.

It Can'T Be That Hard
Bushels and bushels of apple upon apple,
Canned, frozen, or fresh just couldn't keep up the pace.

The solution of course, stared us both in the face.

A duelist's standoff,
Agony on your lips,
Pushed into an animalistic...
