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 eyes741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zstFtBC2e

Boy netted one with

his cotton shirt, his basket

he ran back home

but it had been smushed

yellow-green741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbYKRGk87G

I remember thinking

I killed a little king741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzrHoIMsma

The grasshopper road

he ran back and retried

walking so carefully

and gingerly this time

but it had been smushed

dismembered legs and all741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgWqP5ZddE

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 alone741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3RsguR0LW

Because I remember

I killed two little kings741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEca2zAFEll

And they can be broken

faster than a dropped egg

yellow-green guts inside out

figured they're untouchable

vulnerable kings741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4KwC6xyZU

Because I remember

my brown eyes traumatized

by their destroyed form

crushed to waste

they were supposed to be

springy bugs that zing741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1nlqvHa9H
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJtPQe7CM2

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 road741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCSTqqoIh7
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40PGDfWpN3

I never went back

I never belonged

it's not a place for me

but the grasshopper road

never let go of me
