•

the pumpkin

its jagged smile

we trick ourselves

•

•

•

the pumpkin

breaks

the knife

•

•

•

at the counter

the way people say

their birth date

•

•

•

along the roof

of the chicken coop

tiny shards of ice

•

•

•

she says

prunes are

already old

•

•

•

pumpkin patch

someone asks

what’s a gourd?

•

•

•

the tools

receive

the bad news

•

•

•

no one

else carves

the pumpkin

•

•

•

we get

closer to them

guns

•

•

•

the dome

of fog

preserves us

•
