Two Micropoems by Kelly Moyer

The Empty Cupboard 

Pardon the leaf litter.

We’re doing renovations

on the mushroom house.

I’d offer you honeyed milk 

or a bun of some sort,

but my husband 

brought them to the queen

with a giggle and a snort.

Book Covers 

The mouse told me

the mochi were tainted, 

so he traded a smoke 

for the entire lot.

I should have known

it was just his racket,

tho’ you gotta wonder

whether I, myself,

am a bit of a troll or not.
