“love is everything” said the cricket

wash Jesus’s feet

swell
like a
clod
of dirt

the magician’s hat started to
bleed

no more rabbits for the
cloak of weed

the “Jake of hearts”
span like a
wolf

French deck limericks
for the queen of
tears

the Winchester rifle
grew
butterfly
wings

“love is everything” said the guillotine

so we knelt
