•

not gone

they don’t go away

they just happen

•

•

•

among shadows of

dandelion stalks

a very big ant

•

•

•

thunderheads

they must become

lightning

•

•

•

thunderheads

hot purple wind

beneath them

•

•

•

late night call

all the cats are lying

in the road

•

•

•

thunderheads

above the mountains

all the water’s theirs

•

•

•

in the fold

of the towel

a torn foil wrapper

•

•

•

blue caverns

of eggshells

the shadows lengthen

•
