blue stones

from your pockets

on the white rug

•

•

•

the cat stops

drinking water

jiggling from the train

•

•

•

from this angle

spider

webs

•

•

•

a thin line of shade

pine needles

still green

•

•

•

the crickets

not mistaken for

the frogs

•

•

•

a smattering of

rain pushback from

the thunderheads

•

•

•

thunderheads

fill the top

of the sky

•

•

•

no, it’s

a cage of

protection

•

•

•

in the shade

of the mural

we catch the details

•

•

•

morning downtown

milk cartons on

the sticky sidewalk
