now

blond against cream green fibers a chalk pink

~

the air machine emits a constant
noise called white
that masks symptoms
of songbirds
and the squealing
brakes alike

~

curled under these bedclothes
your small form
draws maternity
my love
my young and old response

~

no moment precisely
like this one

~

seasons dry with fair
play leave
the fallow hills
in beauty perfectly
ad hoc
