Five Micro-Poems

 
aftermath—
entropy’s 
pile of numbers

 

:::

 

baby sprinkle bath 
she looks up 
and I’m the sky

 

:::

 

distant earthquake 
music box ballerina 
moves one note

 

:::

 

hemmed—
but the fray 
of him still reaching

 

:::

 

ninety-five winters—
dentist works to prevent 
bone loss
