Explain how
I can’t whistle.
My lips together, I blow without sound.

Out of my depth.

This was not helpful in the very least.
I took deep breaths;
Recovered
slowly.
Sigh.

He knows no one.
The country will erase him from your life.

Grass
licks toes
and litter
in the same breath,
gasping beneath the trample. In due time,
new growth will climb up and over. Such is
the cycle of
beginnings.
Of change/
