in the yard and an orange
pumpkin near the door

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
Keep me as the apple of the eye,
hide me under the shadow
of thy wings
Psalm 17: 8 (KJV)
poems we read
again and again
washing an old plate
the pattern still new
collage of colors
and shapes on my shelves
books, journals, and small gifts
now that I know
their name
I see them everywhere
