.
bit by bit the apple peel around my finger
.
nicked her shin sweeping up the spring water a new moon
.
a rolled-up fence in the hayfield you can taste the lightening
.
exactly how my boot treads sound crimpling snow
.
on the corner with walnuts in her teeth it’s raining
.
the spruce
matted thick with ice
my tiny fingers
.
still the first raindrops straight down my spine
.
dripping wet mulberry leaves a crow anxiously
.
a white flower
held in the cinder block
flooded eaves
.
an inkling
of the bee’s vision
purple clover
.
autumn insects-
her perfume suffuses
the pillow
.
train tracks
one leaf spinning
on the beech
.
placing a palm on the kitchen window the thunder’s warm
.
invited to feel
the stubble on her legs-
autumn rain
.
road salt
tumbling in the vacuum of
an ambulance
.
