Clippings - Nov. 10, 2026

where I’m from

the mowed grass lays

where it landed on the lawn

 

the murdered clippings

rest in state surrounded

by family and friends

 

the real burial begins

after a few days

as the deceased shrivel

 

and shrink, slip through

the fingers of loved ones,

fall to the ground

 

and bury themselves
