Slugs: A Poetic Trilogy

Brown slug
A glistening brown slug. | Bean Gast

slugs slugs everywhere

devouring strawberries

creating a pattern in the kale

carving holes into the beets

always leaving a trail


bodies molded by clay and carved by bark

brown, copper, cheetah print

blue-blooded freaks

who appeal

to me


a gruesome death lies ahead


sliced in half with scissors

chopped in two with an axe

smashed with a rock


by humans
