Blaze

where corn or grass becoming hay once grew

glass & metal planes         capture translate transmit


nettles around the compost heap

leap at bare knees         pixillate the rain


children grow invisible

go off to their own lives         ramify


Amtrak whistle         marks the time

chores done no plan a sine wave of idle 


rain the softest blanket, soothingest sound

drips less so         who knows what’s dripping


a car swims in a road         a carbon sink

unpave the state         let hay pull wagons


the earth we choose to degrade         shuffle beads

raise the stakes for bodies to rest on
