slow yellow

lilies after

all

•

•

•

they can count

real high but they

don’t know what it means

•

•

•

birds that have

cities believe they

will prevail

•

•

•

shriveled up

irises are making

no fruit

•

•

•

the cook

sits alone

at the table

•

•

•

I invite her

ghost then think

better of it

•

•

•

clefts in

the sharp hills

hold their green

•

•

•

truck stop

where his car

came to quit

•

•

•

the cousins that

hug you and

the ones that don’t

•

•

•

fringed all around

a fir with new

pale growth
