#1:

Say
between
hips in hands
the ocean, square root–
pardon defeat limbs
torn harlequin mascot,
knock sweet the ashtray belly
a speed in kiss (light tilt chin)
mind being sand beneath slit moon wink
never own, never I, fingerprint sea.

#2

Blue
grenade
sells itself
to a land mine;
living at my death
breath bullet by door, waits–
a crowd gathers by questions
a list of ground unsafe to walk
pocket in sun unsafe to pour in
mortar mumble maybe change (nothing done)
