Usé una aplanadora para aplastar al gusano.Para las hormigas organicé un ataque aéreo.
Abeja que encontró su camino atravesando el tejido:

una palabra envenenada arrojada al perro.
Para el amor sólo un fósforo. Eso y una
cocina perdiendo gas
y esperar hasta que la cena
estuviera buena y quemada.

Bee that found its way in through the screen:
Bee that found its way in through the screen:
blowtorch.
The mammals were easier—

a bucket of water for submerging the cat,
a poisoned word thrown to the dog.

For love, only a kitchen match. That
and a stove leaking gas
and a stove leaking gas
and waiting until the dinner
was good and burned.
