I have always hated yellow
frog guts, intestines, slim tongues
cut grass and the faint honey fun of clover
my breath a dirge, chronic childhood
constipation
pee in the seam of the crotch of my
jeans
Kraft dinner butter and bright melts orange
bike bell, bring metal to metal, palms
to pavement
gravel pockmarks skin like citrus
compost lemon rind, bell pepper seeds,
warning
kola nut weeps at the bottom of the tea
lawn mower blade
like the slice of caesarian knife
slipped a child into the world
yellow baby
yellow underleg seam at the tail
yellow pancreas burst on the lawn
frogs everywhere
kitchen wall on fire
one hundred grams of honey ham
slug of bug bite
enclosed hand, grasshopper inside
fist into concrete
collection
of slim scars
faint
with age
