A Slender Man
He is so slender,
like the lengthening
Spring days.
Thin as the shadows,
glowing like the sun.
Let’s see how we
can make him break.

Air Dried
Dirty water cleans
our clothes constantly
assaulted by wind,
dust, and earth,
drying snaky river
beds into our creases,
seemingly impossible
to remove.

Coda
We all thought the
author was typing
a period, starting
anew, hearing the
platen click,
but we realized
too late it was
only a comma.
