FOOL'S PARADISE

my keeper collects dark facts
shares them like garnets 
we’re presumed to want to hold  
but i just want them rolling rolling rolling 
away  

don’t want to hear about 
flesh off the bone 
or ticks or the
pervert killer

give me splashed effort, diamonds in each curl
snacks waiting in the shade 
the braided hands of friendship 
sharing work 

stop bothering me so i can be 
the one you cook for sing for 
but never think for worry for 
poison for plea for 

give me hollowed hazelnut shells 
rolling rolling rolling 
then crushed into the lava gravel 
before they reach
the sea
