A sample poem from the book

He Works for a Smithy.

he works for a smithy
where did you get that hammer
i need a lot of help

he’s the one who customizes
your swords

can you help me a bit
on my game

i’m a little bit
only
the mist that sits there

i have no idea
i didn’t see the fence

the bad bad guy
you do not mind his argument

a squirrel that follows
many guitars

this was short
timely
columnar

do not sight the Alps
do not leave your house
had i a way

i’m just happy we killed a ghost
and then what

why do you have to have to
& what is the adjective of lamb?

children
no more
for the sun

i had a curfew
a curriculum
and curves

we go west
we go

tonight they will loudly
mull it

green is the color
yellow is the color
blue is the color
what rose

‘I am about everything.’
‘Don’t you envy me?’

nothing out there in the grass
didn’t tumble her
