they seem

to side with the cats

chatty jays

•

•

•

after

the frantic jays

mourning dove

•

•

•

the soil

the tulip lifted

still perched on top

•

•

•

they float

off of your sweater

red peanut skins

•

•

•

the day before

the day you always

remember

•

•

•

it’s right above you

so you miss it

the waxing moon

•

•

•

she leads me

around the apples

to the berries

•

•

•

in the scattered trash

white plastic letters

mostly vowels

•

•

•

magazine covers

on the table stirring

in the breeze
