Prolix
deleted passages of his computer diary
+++came back like flowers
on
a plastic gravestone, resting in peace beneath the telephone.

Within an Open Bottle
Bees die while charging towards light
Flies survive by fleeing into darkness
What, what
If the empty bottle rotates?

We sat on the warm brick stoop
Digging X’s with our fingernails
into fresh mosquito bites
waiting for a breeze.
