verbs – haiku and other animals

to be as many bodies
as there are
verbs in the stars

the soup in need of better verbs pepper or an asterisk

splinter

wriggling away under the stars leaving a trail that grows regret farther down sticky heat where tricky verbs slip on the ache’s verdant oasis and drowning is back on the table

like electrolysis for the verbs in your summer garden

conjugating irregular verbs into the night raccoon fight
