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 eyes641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAN7dRo1kL

Boy netted one with

his cotton shirt, his basket

he ran back home

but it had been smushed

yellow-green641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy05o3LWmFJ

I remember thinking

I killed a little king641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT55tpw52nb

The grasshopper road

he ran back and retried

walking so carefully

and gingerly this time

but it had been smushed

dismembered legs and all641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM2MzUDvcU

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 alone641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciuJCAniDV

Because I remember

I killed two little kings641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NR5l1wDDM

And they can be broken

faster than a dropped egg

yellow-green guts inside out

figured they're untouchable

vulnerable kings641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zvu24pq4h

Because I remember

my brown eyes traumatized

by their destroyed form

crushed to waste

they were supposed to be

springy bugs that zing641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtJtrD7FN3
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMqqhR6Jrb

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 road641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk25QDzzGk
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83DDxpBczr

I never went back

I never belonged

it's not a place for me

but the grasshopper road

never let go of me
