DIRT MAGICIANS
I go outside.
Bounding back into childhood.
Split melon in hand with infernal separation.
The fatherless sun above
rips dancing cornea from my eyes.
While the garden lice under rocks
ball up like dirt magicians.
And the balance girls walk the curb,
arms extended.
Trying not to fall off.
