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 eyes752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql0zdrp0B2

Boy netted one with

his cotton shirt, his basket

he ran back home

but it had been smushed

yellow-green752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVzq5nAdo3

I remember thinking

I killed a little king752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMk4GjF0fS

The grasshopper road

he ran back and retried

walking so carefully

and gingerly this time

but it had been smushed

dismembered legs and all752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn1kIQFnHj

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 alone752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVSugZabT4

Because I remember

I killed two little kings752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBnfJkBxfm

And they can be broken

faster than a dropped egg

yellow-green guts inside out

figured they're untouchable

vulnerable kings752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDYIdKRDAu

Because I remember

my brown eyes traumatized

by their destroyed form

crushed to waste

they were supposed to be

springy bugs that zing752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHayJWlhp9
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR4n9v7O0v

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 road752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2XFFE53fQ
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYFNzL1ZXG

I never went back

I never belonged

it's not a place for me

but the grasshopper road

never let go of me
