like large squids

plants loom from

atop the bookcase

•

•

•

heavy rain

we gather

documents

•

•

•

sharp lines

of mist stick

to the ridges

•

•

•

New Year’s Day

quails taunt the hens

stuck in the coop

•

•

•

one tree lit

one not

New Year’s Eve

•

•

•

the rain

settles in and

freezes on the ground

•

•

•

cannabis

crumbs on

Emerson’s back

•

•

•

the hospital curtain

secured with

a binder clip

•

•

•

a rainbow

stretches into

my neighbor’s field
