bottom of ices

1.

when i was 16 and felt lonely and sad
and lay awake listening to the grateful dead on headphones 

- the black pine branches waving, the
lawn glowing with moonlight behind them -

there was a quick joy in it.

2.

a tiny speck jumps from spot to spot
on the wall hit by lamp light

distracted, i push my finger down on it

close up, its a beautiful neon-green bug

3.

the smooth skinned 
tumble by the rolling pin

and they don't have to think 
about what i'm thinking about
