a quiet of months gathered against 

fades 

stir of air 

a return to work 

                               days

followed you here 

                   alone now 

a soft shock of color 

            against (the) high weeds

spit

     graved

roots

turned

a song to do with circles

    sparrows

           fan loose from

           low grass

                       along the field's edge

home : yard edge

            lake edge

last visit : flotsam white

                            fish

                                  white

bodies and bones

buoyed and along

the shore miles

from miles from here
