Jim Leftwich -- June Bugs

June Bugs


Love's boat floated 
like a glove 
Loaded with glue
And oaken flutes
Blue kinetic estuaries 
and blunt epic 
arias pictures of 
arid rivers liver 
failure the riven 
azure love's boat 
As above embossed 
So below attuned 
To loss an 
oven for the 
cows in dreams 
we eat salads 
on the moon 
And chase the 
bugs of June
