Test 1

if we run with yarn in our fingertips

and trace paths through deer antlers,

can we birth a harp?

 

mother will likely snip the knots away

in the morning,

but don't let that frighten you,

my dearest robin

 

Test 2

i scheduled a tire change on

august 30 (at approximately 7pm).

the sun sets at 6:30, so we have around

half an hour to make our advances on the roof

 

will you be joining me?

i promise to dust the ants off of your shoes,

and to light your cigarette

 

send your response via email

 

Test 3

there's a crow on the patch of

grass where you last slept-

what an accusatory thing

 

i'll leave lilacs at the base of your feet,

pluck gum off your stone,

and promise to visit more often
