downpour

the air opaques

into gray

•

•

•

her ear

smells like

pencil lead

•

•

•

before they dissolve

the pills hatch

a plot

•

•

•

blossoms pelted

by rain already

they’re blueberries

•

•

•

unstained by age

paper at the back

of the pad

•

•

•

tulip

days

are here

•

•

•

my body

contracts

grammatically

•

•

•

shriveled daffodils

bow to

the tulips

•

•

•

dandelions

sparse where

the willow drags

•

•

•

paper steals

most of

the day

•
