Her bruises were, in fact, the whole planetarium.

I am sick of saying it, because

everyone is hung up on "shirts" and

"static" and "peaches that are red":

I wanted to say "she is what I wrote about

because sheiswhatIwroteabout".

Instead, I put her soul in an old plum.

I made her unsentimental.

The robin shakes his whole body

when pulling up a worm;

the ground gives the worm up

but it is his beak that splits it in two.
