moths

hover above

the still fly

•

•

•

billowing

web opaque with

the dust of weeds

•

•

•

they wait

for the grain

to spray from your hand

•

•

•

without flies

the quiet of

a false orange autumn

•

•

•

wind stirs

the dry grasses

red butterflies

•

•

•

smoke

it’s called

Canada

•

•

•

smoke

indoors

for good

•

•

•

smoke

just you

wait

•

•

•

smoke

it used to be

alive
