Fireflies
... wearing a white dress and the scent of wild roses
... summer arrives through an open window
... a basket of fireflies in her hand

Highway 26
... late at night / Highway 26 ... I pull over on the shoulder
... watch a low wall of fire move across a farmer's field
... through charred stubble ... another spring

Singing on Sunday
... bible school / bible camp / bible verses memorized ... life divided on these lines
... in a homemade dotted swiss dress / pressed to perfection
... I sang for the congregation ... Life's Railway to Heaven
The photograph is my mother, long before I sang for the congregation.

Boundaries
... meadow sky morning
... the field the river the trees
... my infinite boundaries
The photograph is mine.

The Clumsy Years
... in the tiny bathroom at the top of the stairs / I press the phone to my ear
... you ... just out of prison / me ... unable to tell you
... fumbling through the clumsy years

The School Bus
... leaving his motorcycle in the tall grass we walk into the orchard ... in the
distance a school bus ... the one I'm supposed to be on ... turns down
a dirt road / disappears
The photograph is mine.
