Night Circus

Mending holes in the fortune

teller’s tent, the cost of a lost 

stitch the opening of the night 

sky and the five worst things 

that could happen to you disappear 

before the overture begins.

Recalcitrant Donkey

It takes an hour to walk 

the limited conversation, 

the half-moon fly trap,

and all its dead constellations 

out the door.
