you switch the light off
in the hall
and the last plane of the night
descends,
can I fall asleep

windstorm
reading a letter
not

shipwrecked
a gale
of

the loneliest bird tethers to the nest

a stone
for
every sorrow

the storm
under

the young father learns
to
french braid

that and this

John Pappas
flood watch
she tells me again
it
is what it is
John Pappas
white
asters stay and wild a while
John Pappas
root rot
another far-off war
on
television
John Pappas
frogspawn
black holes
in
a rippled universe

all the branches
of
the human tree

through the skylight
by
way of the moon
Brad Bennett
bird tracks
the call
of
a snowplow

Empty
birch branches
stand bent, gaunt in bitter cold
Sheets of
ice clinging.
