where are

the daffodils before

they get here

•

•

•

the cold hand

steadies the warm

one

•

•

•

now it’s clean

but the sleeves

are short

•

•

•

there’s a mouse

in a paper bag

on the table

•

•

•

we decide

it’s all about

wood

•

•

•

gone for a month

a chicken

has returned

•

•

•

this soon

a wall

of frogs

•

•

•

the olives

look sullen

in their jar

•

•

•

it smells like

a library but you

can’t tell which one

•

•

•

green shoots

nudge the hollow

sunflower stalks

•
