One summer midday

that boy in the tree tunnel

white tee, orange shorts,

sneakers crunching the gravel

the grasshopper road, and zing,

the springy bugs zing

in spontaneous arcs all at once,

raining down

and their royal form captivated

his brown eyes729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14EpvPJDXM

Boy netted one with

his cotton shirt, his basket

he ran back home

but it had been smushed

yellow-green729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1HaU8zWmF

I remember thinking

I killed a little king729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S5IQ5TdnA

The grasshopper road

he ran back and retried

walking so carefully

and gingerly this time

but it had been smushed

dismembered legs and all729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOHSjLTduz

So it was right there and then

that I realized with despair

on that hot and isolated

grasshopper road

that it was better to leave

little things well alone729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GPDv1hqfF

Because I remember

I killed two little kings729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5tJ46wzhM

And they can be broken

faster than a dropped egg

yellow-green guts inside out

figured they're untouchable

vulnerable kings729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum1FvzpHAT

Because I remember

my brown eyes traumatized

by their destroyed form

crushed to waste

they were supposed to be

springy bugs that zing729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8CKLIkSKn
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX9aleHtiB

I try to remember

sneakers crunching the gravel

orange shorts, white tee,

in that tree tunnel that boy

caught in the zinging rain

on the grasshopper road729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ox4antmS1

I never went back

I never belonged

it's not a place for me

but the grasshopper road

never let go of me
