I sit on the back step
with my pumpkins
thinking of women
who have left
spaces in my heart
that I may frame
for windows
12 July 2010
should it rain?
the sky does not ask me
nor permit me to answer
but I would like to tell it
that when I look into its grey landscape
I am quietly astounded
I may well be a cold bird shivering
in its brown feathers
