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 eyes640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf6Z3AZ470

Boy netted one with

his cotton shirt, his basket

he ran back home

but it had been smushed

yellow-green640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L0IwfndJ5

I remember thinking

I killed a little king640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk7ljUtrlj

The grasshopper road

he ran back and retried

walking so carefully

and gingerly this time

but it had been smushed

dismembered legs and all640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tzrlVnYVN

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 alone640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJMOxNnOkV

Because I remember

I killed two little kings640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjea9h0Xm5B

And they can be broken

faster than a dropped egg

yellow-green guts inside out

figured they're untouchable

vulnerable kings640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KcEL93vQi

Because I remember

my brown eyes traumatized

by their destroyed form

crushed to waste

they were supposed to be

springy bugs that zing640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9JWH59eoX
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIq5u7MJEw

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 road640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lhlwSe2Qm
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrobmBz16lY

I never went back

I never belonged

it's not a place for me

but the grasshopper road

never let go of me
