THREE THINGS by ELLEN HARROLD

The Story of Why I Was Asked to Leave the Peach Farm

A cacophony of endless slurping,

Snuffling like a pig on ket

Oh, how I snarled at that poor man,

Because for a brief second

I was a dragon prostrate on gold

rather than some deranged woman

hunched over a wave of peaches crashing against my face.


An Exceptionally Small Octopus


Spider Crab Raging Against Aquarium Equipment
