Little Kings

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 eyes631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZapT7unXTC

Boy netted one with

his cotton shirt, his basket

he ran back home

but it had been smushed

yellow-green631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5RlMQxQRl

I remember thinking

I killed a little king631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYZyuEhRQ6
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIicREhUNh

The grasshopper road

he ran back and retried

walking so carefully

and gingerly this time

but it had been smushed

dismembered legs and all631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZBKNofhWB

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 alone631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1SUjNdIKc

Because I remember

I killed two little kings631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HCRManOPL

And they can be broken

faster than a dropped egg

yellow-green guts inside out

figured they're untouchable

vulnerable kings631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQVGZsRRUX
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLRA9vLyHw

Because I remember

my brown eyes traumatized

by their destroyed form

crushed to waste

they were supposed to be

springy bugs that zing631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjpHqxG4Il
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGILtsiauh

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 road631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCRd1xbo8Z
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiavLw1qCUA

I never went back

I never belonged

it's not a place for me

but the grasshopper road

never let go of me
