•

dawn light

waiting by the stove

the beetle

•

•

•

a new kind

of quiet that’s all

you get

•

•

•

he rubs it

against my chin

the ruined side of his face

•

•

•

the frog stops

barely discernible

rain blown against tin

•

•

•

I think of you

they’re just my

thoughts about you

•

•

•

I go back into

the room to see

what I smell like

•

•

•

in a break

in the dark clouds

what might be Jupiter

•

•

•

he leans

into the wind

spider on a gas pump

•

•

•

dawn

let loose the chickens

rush the goats

•

•

•

grain undisturbed

I worry about

the mouse
