WRENCH IN A COFFEE CAN

:

words

spent fuel

gum beneath counters

:

dawn / a can of spilled paint

:

after we part

a glove floats by

on the river

:

fast moving clouds / picket fence missing a slat

:

Secanol

Ping-Pong ball caught in a vacuum

parking tickets unpaid

:

your hair drawn back / the sharp taste of radishes

:

snow-covered fields

sound of a distant truck

changing gears

:

scratchy throat / wrapper caught in a fan

:

cavity

crow shadow

on snow

:

the back of your neck

through the rain

a car’s horn

:

autumn wind / sliding over empty table tops

:

no one home

dust ball

base of a chair leg

:

blocking the alley / a rusted water heater

:

list growing

waves eating away the shore

pull-chain worn

:

sitting on sandpaper

your hesitation

a hole in a plastic bag

:

teeth just cleaned / new bake-ware

:

Saturday rain

wrench in

a coffee can

:

through cattails / a refinery

:

one of those days

vacuum cleaner

in a vegetable garden

:

black of moonless waters

two front teeth

missing

:

biting her nails / coffee cold

:

old puddle

in the sediment

dead worms

:

winter’s endless rain / the scorched bottom of pans

:

wind

blowing through the house

fingerprints on the mirror

:

quiet afternoon

at home

full penny jar

:

spring thaw / tarp pulled back

:

overnight

in an unfamiliar city

slug in a vending machine

:

dusk / the spray-painted traffic sign

:

stark escarpment

heart a bag of rocks

ocean a distant pool table
