the tomato cage

can’t keep out

the cornflowers

•

•

•

the winter giants

need the slow trickle

of June

•

•

•

hot by noon

we give each

other’s things away

•

•

•

light comes through

where the fork

poked the carton

•

•

•

you can say

anything if you make

up a new verb

•

•

•

it remains

very still the fly

next to your head

•

•

•

a tray of slides

they forgot to empty

in 1972

•

•

•

empty dice tin

a hint of

sandalwood

•

•

•

petals have fallen

but not from

the roses
