•

green mirror

you look for

the odometer

•

•

•

dead fawn

eastbound traffic

backed up for miles

•

•

•

the phone

in her back pocket

tightens the curves

•

•

•

morning dove

everywhere you look

he isn’t there

•

•

•

in a corner of the barn

the goats hold back

the barking dog

•

•

•

empty nest

we still lock

the bedroom door

•

•

•

with your back turned

a strange bird

announces itself

•

•

•

when you’re dead

the naughty pictures

tucked in books show up

•

•

•

in the gray dusk

you feel every inch

of your clothes

•
