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 eyes669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1y8nieaGC

Boy netted one with

his cotton shirt, his basket

he ran back home

but it had been smushed

yellow-green669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtynKResWNU

I remember thinking

I killed a little king669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmSQcDlHvn

The grasshopper road

he ran back and retried

walking so carefully

and gingerly this time

but it had been smushed

dismembered legs and all669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy9VRTPzGh

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 alone669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJZfgBmDO4

Because I remember

I killed two little kings669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfYcCeWUX6
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrxFCEsujk

And they can be broken

faster than a dropped egg

yellow-green guts inside out

figured they're untouchable

vulnerable kings669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzavz0Fb7c

Because I remember

my brown eyes traumatized

by their destroyed form

crushed to waste

they were supposed to be

springy bugs that zing669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTfJa8m2d1
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaeRWDSYEj

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 road669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEpypn5Xmv
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqlBBCfG3z

I never went back

I never belonged

it's not a place for me

but the grasshopper road

never let go of me
