100, 1000, 10000, more
lives
obliterated

the zucchini plant
grows
lizard like

wind blows
the soft murmur
of
death

late summer
strawberries,
small
&
deformed
still
taste good

100000, 1000000, 10000000, more
lives
in shadow

ripe brown figs
high
up
have
been pecked out
by birds

bits of flesh
& torn skin
rim
an open wound

it aches.
