from Fugitives

Spencer Everett

a body is one
of the plants in this world

a plant is one of the many
bodies of the world

next question

what are tulips
something in the desert resists

tulips plain and simple
a wave by height alone

i fingered the foam from a boar’s mouth
and tasted foam at her feet in the same

Time-Foam compliance
touched her breath and dyed

it blue to contrast
sherbet sky

next question

that is what happened
eyes for color would compare it to a diamond
