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 eyes704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGurkRW1y5M

Boy netted one with

his cotton shirt, his basket

he ran back home

but it had been smushed

yellow-green704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOqpfggA9U

I remember thinking

I killed a little king704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD8hltnrAF

The grasshopper road

he ran back and retried

walking so carefully

and gingerly this time

but it had been smushed

dismembered legs and all704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzrd88C4Tt

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 alone704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u89MGzQVF

Because I remember

I killed two little kings704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iyd57c6gt

And they can be broken

faster than a dropped egg

yellow-green guts inside out

figured they're untouchable

vulnerable kings704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA7IdUKzWZ

Because I remember

my brown eyes traumatized

by their destroyed form

crushed to waste

they were supposed to be

springy bugs that zing704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgf6SEmPMU
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzPHcDotLw

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 road704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnepqYpHhnF
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAAQdiIqzw

I never went back

I never belonged

it's not a place for me

but the grasshopper road

never let go of me
