Trellis
I teach a caterpillar
How to conceal its markings
On a grapevine that grasps
The trellis, trimming
Chewed leaves. Bigger
Bite marks upon bite marks.
A rotten apple-core chrysalis
Is hanging on a vine.
All it ever does is change.
I taught the grapevine
Where to grasp the trellis.
And all it ever does is want.

Literature
Urchin (Rewrite)
"Urchin" to those who know him – or of him
Nameless to visiting strangers for
painless anonymity best of all
or at least anonymous pain
Sheaves of crackled, yellowing parchment
with the Orphan Master's chop
Fourteen Years branded on with runny ink
that ran out a year ago
There is money to be made
harvesting the clammy corpses of
shells on damp sand
Glistening as the ocean exhales
Every day the same pair
of spindly legs wades through pools
Searching
Rippled air basks in seasonal heat
Marinating foreign, motionless bodies
that lie
ignorant of fleeting footprints carved in sand
Of unruly, spiked hair that resists
stiff
