steady sparse rain

sounds like

a kettle

•

•

•

jugs of water

filled with

incandescent light

•

•

•

deceased

his cat friend

no longer visits

•

•

•

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
