I forget are

the bats pine cones

or the pine cones bats

•

•

•

fires nearby

a sign

urges caution

•

•

•

dog days

only thick

petals remain

•

•

•

on the hot pavement

a cat licking

a snail trail

•

•

•

Sunday night

we close the kitchen

a third time

•

•

•

Medusa

didn’t wear

glasses

•

•

•

what’s left

of the hay spread

on the highway

•

•

•

not a burr

in your sock

narrow spring from a pen

•

•

•

you find a smudged

thumbprint in

your new book

•

•

•

bleached and crunchy

the grass gives way to

tiny white flowers

•
