The sour of plums
bites my stomach. Nothing
I eat seems palatable.
All acid this Summer
of bitter greens
and half-moons trembling.
Some claim to have seen the demon
I took in, to play shadow
theater with me.
Nonsense, I say.
Small disasters aside,
it’s been a bad Summer:
my life, hungry
and cold,
the whole season long.
