raw
bird
red flesh
nibbling mouths
barbecue sand crunches
wet lake Michigan cut off jeans

flames
nighttime
guitar laughter
slurping cheap beer
burning smell in oak air
dry morseled sand stuck in toes

blankets
crumpled
hungry lips
chewing gamey ostrich
headache insinuating wonder
empty coffee can with red juice
