Brian Hendrickson
I hunch down and pinch from the grass
One after the other what I do not need
A field guide to tell me are Polyphemus pupas
Dreaming wings with eyes already overtired
Of the world.
What can we do
But seed
Every last doomed husk into the dirt of our words.
– From “Of Small Children / And Other Poor Swimmers,” published in Blue Earth Review 8.1 (2010).
