with any luck the yard will overtake the house
life sprawls beneath a certain kind of erasure
I count dandelions dimished by October
she is in the kitchen making pickled eggs

The October rooster crows just before noon
somewhere across the street
between here and the rumors of sunshine
one block south

October-eve morning on the river (broken tanka)

fog off the water on a crisp AM:
a late September sunrise
oil paint orange, pink, and blue
my bed calls
