PHONED AS THEY STEPPED BEHIND A TREE

a lantern of lavender magenta
cat, disapproving astronomer
knife, pepperoni, questioning
while her cat slithers under a hedge

they do not wither
i do not sashay any hair dryers pleased across
eternity indeterminate
while her cat slithers under a hedge

fluorescent yellow citizen
with the salmon people
an owl case snowy owl vertically rediscovering
while her cat slithers under a hedge
