Today's poem is by Shira Dentz

Let the possum go
       

i like thoreau because i like the nature crackling soon am going to be too tired for anything. but wanted to see. light on the mountains red-snaked. where the speeding is going.

the sky not sure birds or leaves an empty blue round red tomatoes

car

speeds of sound red the crackling saw word

let the window see the light welcoming closer a house go where
the wind insidelet there.
fast keep
observing outside

a wishbone comes out of the noose a house in time now

let the possum the way it starts up again wind in the trucks honking the details.
the wind in the
trucks honking the details. light
a snapped joint.

i want tomatoes rocks a whole story happened
flying across water a leaf falls birdacross
the sound sparrow tight welcoming

saw words the element sparrow of wind. it mat i like wate. breast botta moving.
procks alone

gotta

words or leaves across the trees sound red bottom lip out of metaphors
that the details. the snaked up clear out of the crackling the
trees me
snaking alone

the red bottom lip outside and inside light welcoming the
crackling from one snap of think.

soil
leaves an empty blue sky round water whispering the sky round water whispering
things show off red the snaking sounds the speeding
up clear out all the crackling sounds descriptions of comparisons
building a house open to the elements. whatever i want so what is
it i can look out because saying things
flying across time flying across water
a leaf falls bird flies the way it
starts up.
