Just Sitting

and at the centre point of my full field of view,
wedge necked and head down:
Cow;
Just Eating Grass.

two old men stop
to shake hands
on the pedestrian crossing

two red damselflies in a mating wheel
settled on the back of my hand

humming through the blinding sun
curled into the shape of a heart

That dream with the wolf

chasing me out of the forest
across the field back to the house.
I never make it to the porch.
We run on slippery grass all night.

then suddenly a gleam,
in which I see
blossom on the old bent apple tree.

of wet pine straw,
piled high like a haystack.
I’m afraid to comb it,
in case I find lovers hidden there,
or a needle.

Trees blossom into coral
polyps and wave. Tiny bright
squid in shades of pigeon-feet
pink litter concrete sidewalks.
