last autumn’s maple leaves
by the cyclone fence—
bare branches now full
with
the song of many birds

all night
alone in this room
with

with cabin fever

take out the trash
& look up to see the moon
seems full
but it’s not

river of
cars
flows slowly

in the gardens
only

Very often get the address
