POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN

trumpet vines
growing taller

Published in Time Of Singing (2012).

used books
new for me
light on old
and new leaves
of a house plant
reading a new book
reading a new book

of fresh paper
wearing
wearing
my old sweater
worn thin
Queen Anne’s lace
along country roads
