a quiet of months gathered against 

fade

stir of air 

a return to work 
                               days

followed you here 
                   alone now 

a soft shock of color 
            against (the) high weeds

9.2.14


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
