the kids are getting weird in the back yard,
where the arborvitae shade can't escape the sun
oh, how the kids have grown since last year in the back yard!
but their faces just don't change
a fauvist dream
forget my name
we lift the veil
a bowl of shame
the hanging bulb
shimmer like rain
a choral hum
asleep again
happy home
trace your vein
sprightly step
my ochre flame
i'll pack it away in a lunchbox
and keep it close between my shoulderblades
the kids left their bicycles here in the back yard,
where the arborvitae shade can't escape the sun
oh, how the kids have grown since last year in the back yard!
all their faces stay the same
