the sunflower

holds itself in

like a fist

•

•

•

before it even

gets light

sunflowers

•

•

•

thin paper

the words won’t

keep to their side

•

•

•

you come right back

to empty

the watering can

•

•

•

opal clouds

how many people

in a pinch of dust

•

•

•

opal clouds

what if nobody

makes dinner

•

•

•

opal clouds

the only sound

the train in town

•

•

•

opal clouds

only now

I grieve our chicken

•

•

•

opal clouds

eight black shoes

all askew

•
