Tiny Turtle
this morning
before coffee
I wiped the counter
top
in the loo
and wiped the turtle off
too
he went sailing
through the air
and bounced
so hard
against the tile
his glass head
went one way
and his body
went the other
picked up the pieces
and examined the shell
and thought
well
now he’s just hiding
inside
like turtles do
from time
to time
