open sesames
swallow her adam’s apple
to pop the inner-ears
vibrations exchanged for sound
not worth a toast or cheers
in the time that it takes
for a bone to heal
she open sesames
seal it shut; that’s enough
the talk; too small to see
with the eye that trains
eating your carrots hardly
helps her to explain

vietnamese finger-trap
one thing leads to another
one finger after the other
the finger-trap
it pulls when you push back
soon your stuck together
two, now one of the same feather
after you become one arm
it’s three times with no charm
fourth could be no harm to you
and then who knows
maybe your supposed to be
one arm
