•

the sunflower king

his consorts

heads heavy

•

•

•

blackberries in jars

their rims orange

with sunlight

•

•

•

October begins

the grass a brief

spell of green

•

•

•

fog everywhere

cat bound by

the beetle

•

•

•

you talk about

the moon like

it was a biscuit

•

•

•

stone by stone

we look for

a memory’s remains

•

•

•

where the paint’s

peeled fly damp in

the misty dawn

•

•

•

the goat stares

at a tricycle through

the chain link fence

•

•

•

the flame on

the pool of oil moves

like a teeter totter

•

•

•

you missed it

the stove took

the moth

•
