“Some Words for the Week”

Grass applause

everything is yellow

“Some Words for the Week”

Grass applause

in the pollen air

everything is yellow

and green and moving

all this unowned stretch

of new growth pines

and riverbank willows

only what we are closest to

those trees at the roadside

or around the scattered houses

are orange with our ruin

the rest is out of reach

and in full bloom
