dusk brings

a purple to

each window

•

•

•

when it gets dark

again I change

my shoes

•

•

•

as the sun

leaves it lights

up the trees

•

•

•

tumbling from

the tree two jays

harass the cat

•

•

•

waking fitfully

to a new

zero

•

•

•

doves hint at

the return of

rain

•

•

•

a cool rim of

sweat on your

upper lip

•

•

•

through the barn door

dripping rain

a little blue beyond

•

•

•

my what if

I’m wrong still

better than yours

•

•

•

just for the hens

buckets of

dirt

•
