century old lawns,
bushes and hedges trimmed flat.
birds gather grass clippings

I looked up every flight
as if I could go somewhere

birds gather grass clippings;
praying they do not erode
in brutal winter.

in brutal winter:
hot cocoa, candles, slippers–
i'll get through alright.

When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.

wither away when ignored
so decisively

so decisively
the florist cuts the flowers,
stems shaking from loss.

stems shaking from loss
grafted onto another
will grow upwards still.
