/etching/

by Rowen Conry

six legs one of them injured
taking forever left turns
a singular brick

petal on top of a stalk
out of a brown bottle
is that a helicopter?

wind flattening grass
come and look at this
this guy's dead, his wings are crooked
this guy has a million legs
looking for a plant the cat ate

smiling over the lips of my face
he got thiiiiiiis (gesturing) far
