"Get yourself a pie and someone let them wave goodbye." -Seth Landman, from The Wild Hawk the Sea

Orchard



I walk outside as the snow melts

the insides of my shoes soak


a bird forgets how to fly

and falls from the sky


in the most graceful

looping dive


on the horizon a figure stands

alone but with wolves all around


all holding balloons from the fair

chasing one another


somebody punches me

in my chest


somebody else kisses me

on the forehead


I always realize I like it all

once it's too late
