Dropped

What do you do
when water turns gasoline.
Grass is ground glass.
Leaves, lobbed grenades.

When answers are over-
cooked questions. Hard
to swallow. Stuck
in your teeth.

What do you do
when sleep is sandpaper.
Sunrise, Agent Orange.
Hope, a mouth of buckshot.

When “I’ll always love you”
becomes “I no longer do.”
Always
a dropped mirror?
