GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

The desert dreamt water in every corner.

The backyard became the ocean.
The rocks were the water.
The patio was a boat.
The boat had a Sea Shop.
The Sea Shop sold snorkels, seaweed, sugar, salt, oil, and fish.

We fished,
We swam,
We snorkeled,
I sharked,
but couldn’t catch anyone.

press the water beneath the lake
a spectral aquarium floats on the sand
