community garden winter

Zach Savich

this is how you keep talking to someone who’s crying and cry there was

that dog that only children see it’s a corgi places fire feeds on rain

colorless rainbows

just ask them to stand on the stage during the hard speech and look

at the harp this way of swimming works only in currents you look

for a fact and find a phrase

walk under the dry bouquet a kite must be one of several shapes to fly
