:

milkweed flowers as seen on national tv

:

dollar not quite as green as the katydid

:

an empty beach on the island spring

:

tax day outside the post office wild plum scent

:

leaves of grass something sticky on the cover

:

93 million miles past the adult book store spring sunset

:

spiderwort in bloom “i love you” note in the wrong envelope

:

phone ringing in the dead of night a cloud of skippers

:

white sand beach i fill my pockets then empty them

:

after lovemaking rhubarb tarts

:

just a piece of wing on the dusty road painted lady

:

empty thong where i wonder who

:

white chrysalis of salt on the kitchen table

:

scent from the letter i adjust the dimmer

:

after church a butterfly explodes on the windshield

:

night rain putting on my good underwear

:

forgotten today by the one true god autumn mosquito

:

hardware store smell of gun oil and donuts

:

the virgin mary floodwater up to her thighs

:

motionless in the wind galvanized sheets bent by the wind

:

brought an umbrella for once but didn’t need it

:

one yellow dandelion one autumn butterfly

:

day of the dead there goes my skirt

:

a red plastic whistle in the withered grass

:

drifting snow a pair of blue jays in the treetop

:

winter solstice careful not to touch my sleeping wife

:

farther than the amtrak whistle stubblefields

:

the man who never married doesn’t watch

:

powdered snow sifts across the county blacktop

:

from time to time the dog catches up
