What flickers
with some delicacy

of feeling,

some hesitancy—
and then persists.

•

What circles. What darts.

•

Hunger

is like the inside
biting you.

"Like" is like
insomnia.

•

These green cherry tomatoes;
their false pregnancies,

staked. Lustrous.

•

"That's all I meant."

All I meant by
"witches."
