His Tree Her
He went to the window and saw them: men, three of them, in orange vests and protective hats and shoes. He saw the slices of her there. One of the men was about to make another cut, so the better part of her would fit in the bed. The other two were gathering her remnants. They grasped her thin limbs and dragged them across the pavement and tossed them, one on top of another. Her lifeless limbs seemed to shake with fright when they fell. He walked closer to the window, looked down, and saw the last of her. Thirty-three rings, one for each year. He remembered what the landlord said. He woke from the chainsaw sound.

BLIND ON BUS
asleep, I roll and shake. could read a book on this thing, if not for the nausea. apple saved for later in coat pocket, half-finished film in luggage above my head. I'm dozing to beautiful drum beats, hood up. now we're jolting off the highway, turning down streets to the station. chocolate for dinner still on my tongue; I start to wake up, but open my eyes only to darkness, a few blobs of dark reds and grays. buttery mutating warmth; my sense is gone. sweat pills on my forehead and in my palms - my greatest fear realized - film finished above my head.
