Elk Mountain

I can't just
take these coyote

teeth,
split down the center,

and make
them into a necklace.

*
The skull is fragmented.

White Mountain

Something pawed
at this stone.

This stone
where bodies open.

The Birder

My head is spinning around
trying to find the damn bird book.

What is this hawk!?

Twenty Something

You walk the crescent

moon of a Michigan road,

lunar thresher.

The fabric of fields,

the body of a coyote,

a deer perhaps

floating in the spoon

of a small lake.

Will skeletons rise

to greet you?

Cut a hole in the ice.

The Monsters

My first girlfriend

never became my girlfriend
because I told her I liked her brain--

We were nervous animals.
