Allen Edwin Butt

Desembocadura


sometimes doesn't run
mere limp.........the large bird
lighting on the feeder
makes the line shake.........found
her body in a tree, truck
overturned.....do not
attempt a reconstruction
doesn't dwell in hollowed structures
taste of copper after bee-sting
shallow water......harbor mud
