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 eyes672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnjahWBG19

Boy netted one with

his cotton shirt, his basket

he ran back home

but it had been smushed

yellow-green672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsIjeE0NCl

I remember thinking

I killed a little king672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKjcgnrdO9
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoplYqGCHJb

The grasshopper road

he ran back and retried

walking so carefully

and gingerly this time

but it had been smushed

dismembered legs and all672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0ZJ7AVk0A

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 alone672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmws7Z63sq

Because I remember

I killed two little kings672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuurkkTrKv
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHN09c2uDI

And they can be broken

faster than a dropped egg

yellow-green guts inside out

figured they're untouchable

vulnerable kings672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7vktsKS9x

Because I remember

my brown eyes traumatized

by their destroyed form

crushed to waste

they were supposed to be

springy bugs that zing672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XtmEMGp6r
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwCTGYSjrk

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 road672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEq12DYByV
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazmkSB6q6k

I never went back

I never belonged

it's not a place for me

but the grasshopper road

never let go of me
