The World In a Turtle Shell
... as leaves push against the screen door
... my Lakota grandmother appears
... it's yours now she says
... hands me the world in a turtle shell

Floating Above Eight Strings
String Theory:
... two a.m. / playing that song
on the mandolin
(even the word a cliche)
...
floating above eight strings ...
begging for solid ground

Sounds I'd Miss
... sounds the world could do without
but I'd miss them:
... kitchen radio playing low
... a phone ringing at the end of a hall
... tires in the driveway

The photograph is mine.

On the Top Step
... on the top step of the fire tower we carve our initials
... our last day in the red canoe

White Sheer Curtains
... hearts seared
by white sheer curtains
... the honeyed light of summer's end

Autumn Arrives
...
with a flask of whiskey
autumn arrives
... suitcase full of damp leaves / late falling apples
... Great Aunt S
tella ... drunk on sunlight
The photograph is mine.

the shadow of butterfly wings
