neighbors at church

laborers dig up

their yard

•

•

•

where the grain

spilled powdered

grain

•

•

•

collapsing pumpkin

where the rose

never bloomed

•

•

•

films no one

remembers now

their posters on a wall

•

•

•

before they bloom

they tilt

forward

•

•

•

the strays

no longer

budge

•

•

•

without looking

I know the daffodils

have come

•

•

•

hens glowing

red from the heat

lamp

•

•

•

what if a film

is already

coating us
