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 eyes667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptTPknATQo

Boy netted one with

his cotton shirt, his basket

he ran back home

but it had been smushed

yellow-green667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7KmsJQH3f

I remember thinking

I killed a little king667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmCI3go5un

The grasshopper road

he ran back and retried

walking so carefully

and gingerly this time

but it had been smushed

dismembered legs and all667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg3OwXgbkA

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 alone667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5zoj7qLp3

Because I remember

I killed two little kings667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTanKzZoWWZ
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShNcEkKoKR

And they can be broken

faster than a dropped egg

yellow-green guts inside out

figured they're untouchable

vulnerable kings667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vNGHqHMbf
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JL9yYOmZG

Because I remember

my brown eyes traumatized

by their destroyed form

crushed to waste

they were supposed to be

springy bugs that zing667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K26TiKhGM
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R7qkdsJNg

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 road667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwBXnbr30j
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO2MGhEuN3

I never went back

I never belonged

it's not a place for me

but the grasshopper road

never let go of me
