those little hopes for the
weekend with green softness
over the lawn insects
float or dart the breeze
was so important that
it might keep me up tonight
I know it’s not your problem
the pickles came out so well
you know the darkness
catches up before
summer really gets
going I should stop
saying you know you
know anywhoo the
last time we spoke
you were spitting
in the eye of
a hurricane
it’s always the way when the days get less
generous with their light and walking the
dog you see furry legs in the trees and
a noise near or far you choose to ignore
other animals
