Bent, or Bending

everyone I meet         don’t meet

hiking         I remember some things about them

silhouette         bandanna         calves         bike helmet


birds         the beaks of large birds

too foolish to sing         poets sing foolish

or         write nothing worth         while


long         view from front to back

green at both ends         double-digit August

ragweed         brown stalks         the chance of dahlias


make the chores         last all morning

dusk’s drifts         dragonflies         roads dim to dark

Friday’s footprint         would be enough
