where the shed

collapsed mushrooms

thrust through the grass

•

•

•

broken

it’s sharp

the yellow pencil

•

•

•

the yellow pencil

also the name of

a counter feint

•

•

•

you stop talking

and pick up

the yellow pencil

•

•

•

yet to erase

anything

the yellow pencil

•

•

•

hard not to

look at it

the yellow pencil

•

•

•

dawn

tightens the fog

around us

•

•

•

in the barn

the swallows

quiet down

•

•

•

rotten apples

the chickadee hops

about the branches

•

•

•

the number

on her neck

the angel number

•
