the cook

sits alone

at the table

•

•

•

I invite her

ghost then think

better of it

•

•

•

clefts in

the sharp hills

hold their green

•

•

•

truck stop

where his car

came to quit

•

•

•

the cousins that

hug you and

the ones that don’t

•

•

•

fringed all around

a fir with new

pale growth

•

•

•

that raven

is just

a successful crow

•

•

•

someone

gave jay

the codes

•

•

•

we track down

the zip ties and

the screws

•

•

•

for a moment

you break

the seal
