Sling.
that name.
like silly babble.
we were so afraid
of the way he
never slept and always
stood out in the street
when a bad rain was

Tread
We used to get
bad storms. The real
bad ones knocked
out the power. So
that all of the house
became heavy
shadows. I was un
employed, so it became
my job to climb down in
our basement’s hungry
mouth, jagged tooth staircase
case odored with unseen
things we had
packed and forgot
ten steps into the drip
ing flooded gray water
cross to the fuse box. I
will never forget the warm
smell
of rotten eggs.
Treasure
a briefcase lush with
origami frogs–lined paper,
springs open for flies.
