hotel movie

one hotel

room unlocked

door pushes

open a red

door from

the outside

(green from

the inside)

snowy

T.V.

owl

perched on

a towel

rack

blinking

message light

bobcat tears

up the sheets

not a woman,

an actual bobcat

white swans

decimate the

bible by beak

don’t you see?

violent

swans

challenge

stereotypes

 

hotel movie 2

It always starts with a horse in the room,

watching a horse on T.V. a deer walks into a bar,

sees it’s antlers on the wall—too late.
