•

under the willow

the thunder

muffled

•

•

•

impatient apples

hard under

your bare feet

•

•

•

green sunset

still and warm

in the dry grass

•

•

•

mingling with

the sunset

storm clouds

•

•

•

large enough to

stir the pebbles something

passes in the dark

•

•

•

you say

confection like

it’s a bad word

•

•

•

jay waits

to scold you in

the roses

•

•

•

false grapes

false cherries

July comes in hot

•

•

•

the place

in the freezer

your hand doesn’t reach

•

•

•

covering the sun

the clouds turn

blue

•
