Brookland cookout
Newport in one hand
half smoke in the other
July sunlight
waving cornfield
cicada song
goose prints
across deep snow
noon prayer
Indian appaloosa
how pomegranate cedes
to elderberry
the cardboard box
but not the old woman
asleep atop it
outside the bank
the woman’s yoga mat
is cardboard
morning fog
opening the curtains
to a gray blanket
