piquenique
quiet children never
sleep here      it's all
so terrible. spit the
little house away and
never come back. colic
runs where bad hair is
rinsed. strip the siblings
from their crumbs. look
inside the veins this time.
set up the traps    
                      i'm home.
it's bluebells today for
breakfast.
