Maw Shein Win in Response to Nancy Johnson James

52
touch
          her dried hair
how grass pops
          over river rock
 
 
53
sugar strains
kissed teeth
          strung blossoms
& stroked tangles
 
 
54
smooth ice
          & settled light
eye rolls
          across the park
 
 
55
          bake darker
bent leaves
          stone dots
& advice columns
 
 
57
possum half-hidden
          light & dew
blue shade
          wander the tangled woods
 
 
55b
          oiled bullet
a tree in the
          middle there
burning leaf
 
 
59
stone eye
          sole sniper
cup hands
          inhale sorrow
