the clop of hooves

in silken clouds

summer
sunset
I catch my
breath
in the lake’s
reflection

deep
winter—
mom’s
lullaby sneaks
into
my dream

all i know is this
the cello has fallen still
and all is quiet:
the music of what is not
ah,
what strange music that is
Gabriel Rosenstock
*
alone with his thoughts
one thought flowering among weeds
quickly vanishes
a thought that may yet return
on
the day his hair turns grey

day of leaving
I put our moon
in
my backpack

ignoring the lump

I
only like the idea of strawberries
Patrick Sweeney

in
a room alone rooting for the underdog

with a sandwich
and
summer
